The proposed bill establishes the "Early Education Workforce Support and Access Act," which creates the Early Education Workforce Support Pilot Program within the Department of Education for a two-year period. The program aims to address the critical shortage of early education workers by providing free early education services to the children of eligible early education workers. The bill outlines definitions for key terms, including "early education worker," "eligible child," and "participating provider," and specifies the eligibility requirements for early education workers to participate in the program. Funding for the program will come from the General Appropriations Act and may also include eligible federal funds.

Additionally, the bill details the responsibilities of the Department of Education and participating providers, including the selection of counties with the highest need for early education workers, verification of eligibility, and monitoring of program implementation. The department is required to report to the Legislature within 90 days after the program's completion, providing recommendations for statewide expansion and data on enrollment, workforce retention rates, and financial impacts. The program is set to expire on June 30, 2028, and the State Board of Education is authorized to adopt rules for its administration.
