What this bill would do

This bill, known as the "Military Child and Youth Program Abuse and Neglect Notification Act," aims to protect children in military programs. It requires covered child and youth programs to provide prompt notice of any alleged or suspected abuse or neglect. Parents or guardians must be notified within 24 hours of the program becoming aware of the situation. Additionally, specific notifications must be sent to Congressional committees and representatives within 72 hours. This requirement applies to military child development centers, Department of Defense youth programs, family home day care, and certain providers receiving financial assistance.
