Improved family stability could lead to greater workforce stability and better public safety outcomes.

Financial Impact

The bill authorizes $24,000,000 annually for 5 years to fund grants for child care services for law enforcement officers' children. There is also a cost-sharing requirement for participating entities. The overall fiscal impact will depend on the grant application process, award amounts, and cost sharing.
