Plain-language summary
This bill requires the Secretary of Health and Human Services to publish data about the Unaccompanied Children Program, which provides care and services to children who arrive in the US without a parent or guardian. The bill aims to make information about this program publicly available so the public can see statistics and details about how it operates. The data requirement would apply to HHS, the federal agency that manages the program. The bill was recently introduced in Congress and has not yet advanced beyond that initial stage.
