Louisiana SB445 modifies the Louisiana Early Childhood Education Fund by adding two new funding sources: cash balances from the Department of Education and annual deposits from the state general fund. The bill removes the requirement for legislative appropriation for the fund. Monies in the fund will be awarded annually to local entities to expand early childhood care and education slots for families eligible for the Child Care Assistance Program in Type III early learning centers. The changes become effective upon the governor's signature or lapse of time for gubernatorial action.
