Bill > SF1049

This bill appropriates a total of $193,130,000 ($96,565,000 for each of fiscal years 2026 and 2027) from the state's general fund to the commissioner of children, youth, and families specifically for early learning scholarships. Early learning scholarships are a state program designed to help low-income families access high-quality early childhood education by providing financial assistance for preschool or childcare. The funding will be added to the program's base budget, which means it represents an ongoing commitment to supporting early childhood education in Minnesota. The appropriation is targeted at implementing the early learning scholarships program as outlined in Minnesota Statutes, section 142D.25, which likely details the specific eligibility requirements and implementation guidelines for these scholarships.
