Bill > S3032

This bill establishes the "College Child Care Advisory Commission," a 15-member body tasked with studying and proposing solutions for child care needs of college students. The commission will include representatives from higher education and education departments, appointed officials, public members with relevant expertise, and various child care and education professionals, crucially including a student parent. Its duties involve gathering data on student parents, assessing existing college and government child care support, fostering partnerships between colleges and child care providers, examining successful programs in other states, and exploring any other ideas to improve access to child care for students. The commission will receive administrative support from the Office of the Secretary of Higher Education and is expected to deliver a final report with its findings and recommendations to the Governor, Legislature, and college presidents within one year of organizing, after which the commission will expire.
