Bill overview
The ACCESS Act amends the Public Works and Economic Development Act to make projects that increase access to affordable, quality child care eligible for federal grants. It directs the Department of Commerce to establish criteria for determining project eligibility, considering data availability, family financial security, and addressing child care shortages in ‘child care deserts.’ The bill also allows grants for planning, training, and technical assistance related to these projects, and requires comprehensive economic development strategies to include child care accessibility.
