<description>&lt;p&gt;H.R. 2409 would establish a program to provide child care through public-private partnerships.&lt;/p&gt;


&lt;h2 id=&quot;toc0&quot;&gt; Detailed Summary &lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Child Care Public-Private Partnership Act of 2007 - Directs the Secretary of Health and Human Services to establish a business-incentive grant program to provide child care through public-private partnerships.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Requires such services to: (1) be provided equitably and affordably to low- and moderate-income employees; and (2) comply with state and local licensing requirements.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Gives priority in grant selection to businesses with fewer than 100 full-time employees.&lt;/p&gt;
