To amend title 10, United States Code, to require the Secretary of Defense to annually review the amount of financial assistance for child care and youth program services providers provided by the Secretary.

This bill would amend title 10 of the U.S. Code to require the Secretary of Defense to conduct an annual review of the financial assistance provided to child care and youth program services providers under the existing statute. Specifically, the review must cover the overall amounts of assistance and, importantly, the maximum monthly amount of assistance per child that the Secretary authorizes for eligible providers. The change creates a regular, formal oversight obligation without automatically increasing or decreasing funding—it is a reporting/monitoring requirement intended to enhance transparency and inform future policy or funding decisions. The amendment adds a new subsection (d) to Section 1798, establishing the annual review duty. The bill was introduced in the House by Rep. Khanna and referred to the Committee on Armed Services.
