|
||||
|
||||
(2) A spouse who is eligible for a program under this section and begins a course of education or training for a degree, license, or credential described in subsection (a) may not become ineligible to complete such course of education or training solely because the member to whom the spouse is married is promoted to a higher grade.

|
||||
(c) Exceptions.— Subsection (b) does not include—
|
||||
|
||||
(1) a person who is married to, but legally separated from, a member of the armed forces under court order or statute of any State or territorial possession of the United States; and

# 10 U.S.C. § 1794 - Child abuse prevention and safety at facilities
|
||||
|
||||
## Text
|
||||
|
||||
(a) Child Abuse Task Force.— The Secretary of Defense shall maintain a special task force to respond to allegations of widespread child abuse at a military installation. The task force shall be composed of personnel from appropriate disciplines, including, where appropriate, medicine, psychology, and childhood development. In the case of such allegations, the task force shall provide assistance to the commander of the installation, and to parents at the installation, in helping them to deal with such allegations.
|
||||
|
||||
(b) National Hotline.— (1) The Secretary of Defense shall maintain a national telephone number for persons to use to report suspected child abuse or safety violations at a military child development center or family home day care site. The Secretary shall ensure that such reports may be made anonymously if so desired by the person making the report. The Secretary shall establish procedures for following up on complaints and information received over that number.
|
||||
|
||||
(2) The Secretary shall publicize the existence of the number by means including—
|
||||
|
||||
(A) posting it in public areas of military child development centers; and
|
||||
|
||||
(B) providing it to the parents and legal guardians of children who attend military child development centers.
|
||||
|
||||
(c) Assistance From Local Authorities.— The Secretary of Defense shall prescribe regulations requiring that, in a case of allegations of child abuse at a military child development center or family home day care site, the commander of the military installation or the head of the task force established under subsection (a) shall seek the assistance of local child protective authorities if such assistance is available.
|
||||
|
||||
(d) Safety Regulations.— The Secretary of Defense shall prescribe regulations on safety and operating procedures at military child development centers. Those regulations shall apply uniformly among the military departments.
|
||||
|
||||
(e) Inspections.— The Secretary of Defense shall require that each military child development center be inspected not less often than four times a year. Each such inspection shall be unannounced. At least one inspection a year shall be carried out by a representative of the installation served by the center, and one inspection a year shall be carried out by a representative of the major command under which that installation operates.
|
||||
|
||||
(f) Remedies for Violations.— (1) Except as provided in paragraph (2), any violation of a safety, health, or child welfare law or regulation (discovered at an inspection or otherwise) at a military child development center shall be remedied immediately.
|
||||
|
||||
(2) In the case of a violation that is not life threatening, the commander of the major command under which the installation concerned operates may waive the requirement that the violation be remedied immediately for a period of up to 90 days beginning on the date of the discovery of the violation. If the violation is not remedied as of the end of that 90-day period, the military child development center shall be closed until the violation is remedied. The Secretary of the military department concerned may waive the preceding sentence and authorize the center to remain open in a case in which the violation cannot reasonably be remedied within that 90-day period or in which major facility reconstruction is required.
|
||||
|
||||
(g) Notification of Suspected Child Abuse.— (1) The Secretary of Defense shall prescribe regulations that require the director of a military child development center to notify a parent or guardian of a child who is the suspected victim of a covered incident not later than 24 hours after a child care employee at such military child development center learns of such covered incident.
|
||||
|
||||
(2) The requirement under paragraph (1) shall not apply if notification under such paragraph threatens the integrity of a law enforcement investigation of such covered incident.
|
||||
|
||||
(3) In this subsection, the term “covered incident” means alleged or suspected abuse or neglect of a child that occurs at a military child development center.

(a) Parent Boards.— The Secretary of Defense shall require that there be established at each military child development center a board of parents, to be composed of parents of children attending the center.

|
||||
|
||||
(b) Parent Participation Programs.— The Secretary of Defense shall require the establishment of a parent participation program at each military child development center.

A, title VI, § 627, Jan. 1, 2021, 134 Stat. 3678, provided that: “(a) Priority.—If the Secretary of a military department determines that not enough child care employees are employed at a military child development center on a military installation under the jurisdiction of that Secretary to adequately care for the children of members of the Armed Forces stationed at that military installation, the Secretary, to the extent practicable, may give priority for covered military family housing to a member whose spouse is an eligible military spouse. “(b) Number of Priority Positions.—A Secretary of a military department may grant priority under subsection (a) only to the minimum number of eligible military spouses that the Secretary determines necessary to provide adequate child care to the children of members stationed at a military installation described in subsection (a). “(c) Limitation.—Nothing in this section may be construed to require the Secretary of a military department to provide covered military family housing that has been adapted for disabled individuals to a member under this section instead of to a member with one more dependents enrolled in the Exceptional Family Member Program. “(d) Result of Failure To Provide Family Home Day Care Services or Loss of Eligibility.—The Secretary of the military department concerned may remove a household provided covered military family housing under this section therefrom if the Secretary determines the spouse of that member has failed to abide by an agreement described in subsection (e)(3) or has ceased to be an eligible military spouse. Such removal may not occur sooner than 60 days after the date of such determination. “(e) Definitions.—In this section:“(1) The terms ‘child care employee’, ‘family home day care’, and ‘military child development center’ have the meanings given those terms in section 1800 of title 10, United States Code. “(2) The term ‘covered military family housing’ means military family housing—“(A) located on a military installation described in subsection (a); and “(B) that the Secretary of the military department concerned determines is large enough to provide family home day care services to no fewer than six children (not including children in the household of the eligible military spouse). “(3) The term ‘eligible military spouse’ means a military spouse who—“(A) is eligible for military family housing; “(B) is eligible to provide family home day care services; “(C) has provided family home day care services for at least one year; and “(D) agrees in writing to provide family home day care services in covered military family housing for a period not shorter than one year.”
