COACH Act

This bill would require the Small Business Administration (SBA) to publish or update a resource guide for small businesses that provide child care within 1 year of enactment, and at least every 5 years after that. The guide would cover operations, finances, compliance with laws, training and safety, quality (including eligibility for federal Child Care and Development Block Grant funding), and other matters the SBA chooses. Before publishing, the SBA would have to consult with the Secretary of Health and Human Services, state child care lead agencies, and local child care resource and referral organizations. The guide would be published online in English and the 10 most commonly spoken other languages in the U.S. It would be distributed through SBA offices and SBA-supported business centers to child care providers.
