The resolution establishes the Joint Interim Study Commission on Expanding Access to High-Quality Out-of-School Education Programs in Alabama. This initiative recognizes the importance of out-of-school and summer programs in enhancing children's health, academic performance, and behavioral development. With a significant portion of Alabama's workforce being parents, the resolution emphasizes the need for accessible, high-quality programs that support working families and contribute to improved productivity and employee retention. The commission aims to address the existing gap in program availability, as many children are currently unable to participate in afterschool and summer programs due to various barriers.

The commission will consist of a diverse group of members appointed by various state leaders and organizations, ensuring representation across different demographics. Its responsibilities include evaluating the quality and accessibility of existing programs, identifying funding gaps, and exploring sustainable financial support for these initiatives. The commission is tasked with submitting a comprehensive report of its findings and recommendations to the Legislature by the fifteenth legislative day of the 2026 Regular Session, after which it will be dissolved.
