CHILDREN-TECH
HB 4398 corrects a redundant phrase in the short title of the Department of Early Childhood Act, changing "the the" to "the." This is a purely technical amendment to the law's wording with no impact on program requirements, funding, or services. It does not affect any policies, programs, or individuals. The bill only updates how the act is formally cited in Illinois law.
