As a condition of receiving such reimbursement, the center must terminate the enrollment of a child at the center within 120 days of the date on which the child does not have a parent or guardian who is serving as an employee of the Senate, an employee of the center, a congressional employee, or a federal employee.

As a condition of receiving reimbursement under this resolution, the center shall provide enrollment
first, to a child of an individual serving as a Senate employee or as an employee of the center;
second, to a child of an individual serving as a congressional employee; and
third, to a child of a federal employee if certain conditions are met.
Under the resolution, the center may provide enrollment to the child of a federal employee if
there is an enrollment slot available;
no child of an individual serving as an employee of the Senate, as an employee of the center, or as a congressional employee accepts the slot; and
no currently enrolled child is ready to transition to the class in which the slot is available.
