AI Summary

This bill aims to achieve universal pre-kindergarten (pre-K) in Massachusetts. It establishes the Universal Pre-Kindergarten Commission, which will investigate and study how to expand pre-K to make it available to all 3- and 4-year-old children in the state. The commission will analyze different pre-K program models, their costs, and the potential benefits of universal pre-K, and will recommend legislation to implement its findings by December 31, 2020. The bill also provides funding for pre-K expansion by transferring the balance from the Convention Center Fund that exceeds the required amount to the Department of Early Education and Care.
