The liaison would also create resources to help businesses understand and utilize these benefits, and they would be tasked with identifying challenges and recommending changes to Congress to improve access to employer-provided child care. This initiative aims to reduce information barriers, particularly for small businesses. The liaison would report annually on their activities and recommendations to Congress and make these reports publicly available.
