Bill > HB1066

This bill amends the composition of Hawaii's Early Learning Board by adding two new ex officio, non-voting members: the head start state collaboration office director and the president of the Head Start Association of Hawaii (or their designee). Currently, the board consists of voting members from different counties, including three at-large voting members, and several ex officio, non-voting members such as the superintendent of education, director of human services, director of health, and president of the University of Hawaii. The bill makes minor technical changes to the language, such as correcting the capitalization of "university" and adding punctuation. Head Start is a federally funded program that provides comprehensive early childhood education, health, nutrition, and parent involvement services to low-income children and their families. The bill aims to enhance representation and collaboration within the Early Learning Board by including key stakeholders from the Head Start network. The proposed changes will take effect on July 1, 3000 (which appears to be a placeholder date).
