Bill Overview
Analyzed Economic Effects
4 provisions identified: 2 benefits, 1 costs, 1 mixed.
More outreach on early learning for families
Three government bodies must promote early childhood development and reading. They target parents and guardians of children from birth through age eight. They must work with the health department on this outreach. This is ongoing education, not a cash benefit.
University system to guide early learning
The Board of Regents and related university entities must study early childhood needs and make recommendations. Their work supports parents and guardians of children from birth through age eight. They must consult the health department. This is planning and advice, not direct funding.
New child development training for licensees
Licensing boards must require continuing education on early childhood development and literacy for license renewal. Boards set the hours and courses, and they must follow health department rules. Where set in law, renewals are every two years and require 40 contact hours or 4 CEUs. This adds time and training costs for many licensed professionals; who pays is not specified.
Health department rules and rollout timeline
The health department must issue rules under the Administrative Adjudication Act to carry out this law. The rules set standards for training, outreach, and continuing education. The law takes effect within one year of enactment, so some duties start after rules are in place. This enables the program but delays full rollout by up to one year. There are no direct cash payments.
