SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

    Congress makes the following findings:
            (1) Availability and affordability of quality child care is 
        a major obstacle for working parents who struggle to remain 
        self-sufficient.
                    (A) Compared to all other income groups, the 
                working poor are the least likely to receive assistance 
                with their child care costs.
                    (B) Low-income families spend 24 percent of their 
                household income on child care, whereas middle-income 
                families spend 6 percent of their household income on 
                child care.
                    (C) 38 States have waiting lists for child care for 
                the working poor. Among those States, Georgia has 
                41,000 individuals on its waiting list, Texas has 
                36,000 individuals on its waiting list, and Illinois 
                and Alabama each have 20,000 individuals on their 
                waiting lists.
                    (D) One survey of low-income families on a waiting 
                list for subsidized child care found that of those 
                families paying for child care out of their own funds, 
                71 percent faced serious debt or bankruptcy.
                    (E) Half of the States and the District of 
                Columbia, even before the enactment of the Personal 
                Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act 
                of 1996 (Public Law 104-193, 110 Stat. 2105) during the 
                104th Congress, increased the proportion of child care 
                slots or dollars going to families on welfare, rather 
                than to working poor families.
            (2) The Congressional Budget Office estimates that there 
        will be $1,400,000,000 less expenditures of child care funds 
        for working poor families as a result of the States 
        implementing the work requirements imposed under the Personal 
        Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act of 1996 
        (Public Law 104-193, 110 Stat. 2105).
            (3) Important types of child care are not available in 
        certain States including infant care, school-age care, care for 
        children with disabilities and special health care needs, and 
        child care for parents with unconventional or shifting work 
        hours.
                    (A) A 1995 State study by the Comptroller General 
                of the United States found a shortage of child care for 
                infants and children with special needs in inner 
                cities, and a shortage of all types of child care in 
                rural areas.
                    (B) Only one-third of the schools in low-income 
                neighborhoods offer school-age child care, compared 
                with 52 percent of schools in more affluent areas 
                offering such care.
                    (C) Eighth-graders who are left home alone for 11 
                or more hours a week report significantly greater use 
                of cigarettes, alcohol, and marijuana than eighth-
                graders who are not left home alone.
                    (D) Existing child care arrangements do not 
                accommodate the work schedules of many working women. 
                According to a 1995 statistic published by the 
                Department of Labor, 14,300,000 workers, nearly 1 in 5 
                full-time workers work nonstandard hours, and more than 
                1 in 3 of those workers are women.
                    (E) Only 10 percent of child care centers and 6 
                percent of family day care providers offer child care 
                on weekends. Yet one-third of working mothers with 
                annual incomes below the poverty level and one-quarter 
                of mothers with annual incomes above the poverty level 
                but below $25,000 work on weekends.
                    (F) Less than 30 percent of Head Start programs 
                operate on a full-time, full-year basis.
