H.R. 6026 directs the Department of Veterans Affairs and the Department of Education to jointly study childcare availability, accessibility, and affordability for military families. Within 180 days of the bill's enactment, the two departments must submit a report to Congress that assesses current childcare options for veterans, identifies gaps in available services, and evaluates barriers including cost, distance, and eligibility requirements. The bill affects veteran families as defined under federal law and aims to provide Congress with information needed to understand and potentially address childcare challenges in the military community. There is no funding amount specified in the legislation, as it is primarily an information-gathering requirement rather than an appropriations measure.
