Expanding access to the early childhood education and assistance program for military families.

Summary

The bill lets children who are not otherwise eligible for the state early‑childhood education and assistance program enroll if they come from a military household and meet certain income thresholds or risk‑factor criteria. It caps enrollment for the lower‑income bracket at 25 % of total statewide slots and requires the department to prioritize slots using a rule‑based system. The changes aim to help military families facing deployment or single‑parent situations access quality preschool.
