The bill proposes the appropriation of funds to the Department of Economic Security specifically for the hiring of an early childhood grant writer. The grant writer's role will be to identify potential grants for early childhood educational and care services for children from birth to five years of age, help providers apply for these grants, assist them in obtaining licensure, and offer guidance on executing the grant awards. The bill allocates $100,000 and one full-time equivalent position for each of the fiscal years 2024-2025 and 2025-2026.

Additionally, the bill requires the Department of Economic Security to report to the president of the senate, the speaker of the house of representatives, the governor, and the secretary of state by September 1, 2026. The report must include the number of successful grant awards the grant writer assisted with, the total dollar value of these awards, and the number of individuals and organizations that received the successful awards.
