SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE; TABLE OF CONTENTS.

    (a) Short Title.--This Act may be cited as the ``Working Families 
Child Care Act of 1997''.
    (b) Table of Contents.--The table of contents for this Act is as 
follows:

Sec. 1. Short title; table of contents.

Sec. 5. Report on access to child care by low-income working families.
Sec. 6. Effective date.

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.

SEC. 3. ASSISTANCE FOR LOW-INCOME WORKING FAMILIES.

    Section 658B of the Child Care Development Block Grant Act of 1990 
(42 U.S.C. 9858) is amended to read as follows:

``SEC. 658B. FUNDING OF GRANTS.

    ``(a) Authorization of Appropriations.--Except as provided in 
subsection (b), there is authorized to be appropriated to carry out 
this subchapter $2,000,000,000 for each of fiscal years 1997 through 
2002.
    ``(b) Appropriation.--The Secretary shall pay, from funds in the 
Treasury not otherwise appropriated, $1,400,000,000 for fiscal years 
1997 through 2002, through the awarding of grants to States under this 
subchapter for the purpose of providing child care services for 
families who have left the State program of assistance under part A of 
title IV of the Social Security Act because of employment, families 
that are at risk of becoming dependent on such assistance program, and 
low-income working families described in section 658E(c)(3)(D). Funds 
shall be paid under this subsection to the States in the same manner, 
and subject to the same requirements and limitations, as funds are paid 
to the States under section 418 of the Social Security Act (42 U.S.C. 
618).''.

                            ``(i) In general.--A State shall ensure 
                        that 100 percent of amounts paid to the State

                        658B(a)(2) with respect to each of the fiscal 
                        years 1997 through 2002 shall be used to carry 
                        out child care activities described in clause 
                        (ii) in geographic areas within the State that 
                        have a shortage, as determined by the State, in 
                        consultation with localities, of child care 
                        services.

SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

    This Act may be cited as the ``Online Voter Registration Act of 
2010''.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

    Congress makes the following findings:
            (1) Americans have become increasingly comfortable with 
        using the Internet for a wide range of purposes, including 
        gathering information, purchasing items, performing financial 
        transactions, and obtaining information and services from the 
        Government.
            (2) In 2008, 74 percent of adults in the United States 
        reported using the Internet, according to the Pew Internet and 
        American Life Project. Of those adults, 89 percent reported 
        using the Internet to find information, 71 percent made 
        purchases over the Internet, 70 percent read news online, 56 
        percent looked up campaign or political information, 55 percent 
        utilized online banking, and 59 percent visited Government 
        Internet Web sites.
            (3) The Internet is well-suited to allow individuals to 
        provide and update personal information. Completing such tasks 
        online saves time, reduces paper, increases efficiency, and 
        lowers costs.
            (4) Many States already allow citizens to access Government 
        services online, including renewing driver's licenses and 
        registering cars.
            (5) Two States, Arizona and Washington, have already 
        implemented online voter registration systems, and a number of 
        other States are in the process of adopting online voter 
        registration systems.
            (6) Although 2008 was the first election cycle that the 
        online voter registration system was in place in Washington 
        State, in the month prior to the general election, voter use of 
        the online voter registration system exceeded that of mail-in 
        registration cards by more than 20 percent.
            (7) Younger adults who are registering to vote for the 
        first time are the most adept Internet users and expect to be 
        able to accomplish most tasks online. In 2008, 87 percent of 
        adults age 18 to 29 used the Internet. In Washington State, 
        voters age 18 to 24 had the highest rate of use of its online 
        voter registration system.
            (8) During the 2008 election cycle, Washington State 
        processed about 130,000 online voter registration transactions.
            (9) Implementing an online voter registration requires an 
        initial investment to purchase the needed technology and to 
        input existing voter information into the registration 
        database. Washington State, for example, spent $278,000 to 
        establish its online voter registration system.
            (10) Once in place, online voter registration systems allow 
        the processing of new voter registrations, changes of address 
        or party, and requests for absentee ballots.
            (11) Washington State reports that it costs approximately 
        25 cents to process paper voter registration cards and 43 cents 
        to process those submitted via the department of motor vehicles 
        in compliance with the National Voter Registration Act of 1993 
        (42 U.S.C. 1973gg et seq.). Voters must also pay postage costs 
        for registration cards sent through the mail. Once in place, 
        the online voter registration system requires no processing by 
        staff in order to complete a transaction, and therefore has no 
        per transaction cost. For the 2008 general election, the online 
        voter registration system saved Washington State $32,500, and 
        saved consumers $54,600 in postage costs, which resulted in 
        total savings to the State and consumers of over $87,000.
