[Q]: SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE; TABLE OF CONTENTS.

Child Care Act of 1997''.

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

[Q]: SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

This Act may be cited as the ''Children's Health Protection Act of
2009''.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

Congress makes the following findings:
(1) According to the Bureau of the Census, 8,100,000
children and young adults are uninsured at some point during
the year. Young adults between the ages of 18 and 25 years old
make up 21 percent of the total uninsured population.
(2) According to a recent study, approximately 20 percent
of school-aged children suffer from a chronic illness.
(3) Thirteen States have passed legislation that increased
the age of dependency for young adults for purposes of private
insurance coverage to age 25.
(4) When a child or young adult has a 63-day gap in
insurance coverage, pre-existing condition exclusions, such as
coverage limits or waiting periods, can be applied when the
child or young adult becomes insured under a new health
insurance policy.
(5) Eliminating pre-existing condition exclusions for
children is a vital safeguard to ensure all children have
access to health care when in need.
(6) High-risk pools were created to help individuals with
pre-existing conditions purchase insurance with the assistance
of government subsidies. However, State high-risk pools are
often underfunded, unaffordable for patients, have long waiting
lists and impose pre-existing condition waiting periods once
enrolled.
(7) Pre-existing condition limitation periods for children
in the private market discourage families from moving off
Medicaid or the Children's Health Insurance Program.

UNDER GROUP HEALTH PLANS.
