SB2482

Terminates the State-Invested Pre-K Program and reallocates funds to the Early Learning Collaborative Program.

Mississippi SB2482 proposes to terminate the State-Invested Pre-K (SIP) Program on July 1, 2026, and reallocate all its funds and participants to the Early Learning Collaborative Program. The bill outlines a phased implementation of the Early Learning Collaborative Act of 2013, with funding and participant numbers increasing in subsequent phases. It mandates that early learning collaboratives provide parents with profiles of prekindergarten providers, ensuring compliance with antidiscrimination laws.
