Bill > SB2644

This bill appropriates $20,000,000 from the General Revenue Fund to the Illinois Student Assistance Commission (ISAC) specifically for early childhood programs. The funds are designated to support two primary purposes: awarding scholarships and covering administrative costs related to early childhood education initiatives. The appropriation is flexible, meaning the full $20 million may not necessarily be spent if the entire amount is not required. The bill will take effect on July 1, 2025, which provides advance notice to the agency about the upcoming funding. By allocating these funds through ISAC, the bill aims to support early childhood education programs, potentially helping to improve access to educational resources for young children in Illinois.
