Summary
H.R. 1681, the Military Child Care Transparency and Expansion Act, aims to improve access to childcare for military families by expanding a Department of Defense pilot program that provides financial assistance for in-home care.

These changes are intended to provide service members with more flexible care options and greater transparency regarding the availability of childcare services.
