Plain-English Summary

The Department of Defense would be required to report to Congress on how it is implementing changes to how it pays for and manages its child care programs that serve military families. This would help lawmakers understand whether the redesigned compensation system is working effectively and whether military families have adequate access to affordable child care. The report would give Congress visibility into a program that affects thousands of military families who depend on these services.
