H.R. 5124, known as River's Law, amends federal child care regulations to add new safety requirements for child care facilities that receive federal funding under the Child Care and Development Block Grant Act. The bill prohibits child care providers from constructing, maintaining, or operating pools on their premises and requires all child care facilities to install door and window alarms. The legislation affects any child care provider or facility that receives federal child care assistance funding. The bill does not specify particular funding amounts or implementation timelines, but these requirements would apply to facilities participating in the federal child care subsidy program.
