The proposal would create an independent Children's Commission and a Children's Commissioner. The Commission would gather and review complaints about how agencies serve children, study how federal policies affect children, advise lawmakers and agencies, and publish reports. It would include experts and young people, and would seek children's views in its work. The Commission would also study whether agencies could prepare statements about how proposed changes may affect children.
Children, families, and other interested people could send information to the Commission and read its public reports. The Commission could share recommendations with lawmakers and agencies, but the proposal does not require agencies to adopt them.
The proposal authorizes $7.5 million for each fiscal year from 2027 through 2034. Any funds provided would remain available until spent. No direct costs for families are specified.
