The introduced text created a child care grant program for law enforcement families and covered shift work and abnormal work hours.

The Congressional Record says Coons was added as a cosponsor of S.3884 at Senator Gillibrand's request.

This independently verifies the official cosponsorship action by Coons on the relevant 2024 bill. It is evidence of effort, not delivery of an enacted program.
