COACH Act

S 3155, the COACH Act, requires the Small Business Administration to create and regularly update a multilingual resource guide for small childcare providers. The guide must cover operations, finances, compliance, safety, quality standards, and other key areas, and must be published annually for 5 years after enactment. It mandates consultation with health officials, child care agencies, and local resource organizations before creation. The guide must be published in English and 10 additional languages (including Mandarin, Cantonese, Japanese, and Korean) on a public website and distributed to childcare providers, especially those with limited administrative capacity, through small business support centers. This is a procedural bill focused on providing practical resources, not changing funding or regulations.
