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 program's funding sources, which may include state appropriations and federal funds such as the Child Care and Development Block Grant.

Eligibility for the program requires early education workers to be residents of participating counties, employed for at least six months at a licensed child care facility, and to provide proof of employment and residency. The Department of Education is tasked with selecting counties with the highest need for early education workers, verifying eligibility, and monitoring the program's implementation. Participating providers must comply with licensing requirements and report on enrollment and outcomes. The program is set to expire on June 30, 2028, and the Department is required to submit a report and recommendations for potential statewide expansion within 90 days after the program's completion.
