Coons cosponsored Senate legislation matching the promise in the 118th Congress (S.3884) and again in the 119th Congress (S.2337), including a grant program for child care for law enforcement officers' minor children during shift work and nontraditional hours. However, the relevant bills remained introduced/referred to committee and did not pass or become law, so the grant program was not established. This is a serious legislative attempt, but not delivery of the promised outcome.
