AI-generated summary, report an error

This bill changes the Public Works and Economic Development Act of 1965 so that the comprehensive economic development strategies required for certain federal economic development grants must directly or indirectly increase access to affordable, quality care-based services. These services include child care, early childhood education, disability and long-term care, and elder care. The Secretary of Commerce must issue guidance on how to meet this requirement within 1 year after the bill becomes law. Grant recipients with already-approved strategies would only need to update them at their next regularly scheduled update.
