The bill proposes funding for early education by appropriating a total of $193,130,000 from the general fund for the early learning scholarships program over two fiscal years, specifically $96,565,000 for both fiscal year 2026 and fiscal year 2027. This funding is designated for the commissioner of children, youth, and families and is intended to enhance the existing early learning scholarships program as outlined in Minnesota Statutes, section 142D.25.

Additionally, the bill includes a provision that this appropriated amount will be added to the base funding for the program, ensuring a sustained financial commitment to early education initiatives in Minnesota. This legislative action aims to support and expand access to early learning opportunities for children in the state.
