River’s Law

This legislation, known as "River's Law," amends the Child Care and Development Block Grant Act of 1990 to implement new safety standards for child care providers. The primary goal is to enhance the safety environment in facilities that receive federal funding under the Act by establishing specific conditions for grant recipients. Specifically, the bill mandates two key safety provisions for facilities providing child care services. First, it establishes a prohibition on constructing, maintaining, or operating a pool on the premises. Second, it requires the installation of door and window alarms in all such facilities, thereby strengthening child protection measures and preventing unauthorized access or egress.
