An Act establishing a special commission on two-generation approaches to childhood education
This bill creates a Special Commission on Two-Generation Approaches to study how to better support both parents and children together to reduce long-term family poverty. The commission will include leaders from various state departments, community organizations, and research institutions who will gather input from families and review successful programs from other states. Its main tasks are to develop a plan linking education and job readiness for low-income families, align funding across different agencies, and propose ways to measure success for both parents and children. The commission must begin work within 60 days and submit its findings and any new laws needed to implement these changes to the state legislature and governor within one year.
