Fiscal Detail and Notes
Additional costs to the Department of Education associated with the required rulemaking and approval process can be absorbed within existing budgeted resources.
The additional costs to local school administrative units associated with obtaining the required certification to operate a prekindergarten early childhood care and preschool education program can not be determined at this time.  However, because local school units are not required to develop and operate this program, this legislation is not a state mandate.
