 2025-2026 Regular Sessions

 IN SENATE

 (Prefiled)

 January 8, 2025
 ___________

 Introduced by Sen. GALLIVAN -- read twice and ordered printed, and when
 printed to be committed to the Committee on Education

 AN ACT to amend the education law, in relation to the universal full-day
 pre-kindergarten program; and to repeal subdivision 4 of section
 3602-ee of such law relating thereto

 The People of the State of New York, represented in Senate and Assem-
 bly, do enact as follows:

 1 Section 1. Subdivision 4 of section 3602-ee of the education law is
 2 REPEALED.
 3 § 2. Subdivisions 1 and 5 of section 3602-ee of the education law, as
 4 added by section 1 of part CC of chapter 56 of the laws of 2014, are
 5 amended to read as follows:
 6 1. The purpose of the universal full-day pre-kindergarten program is
 7 to incentivize and fund state-of-the-art innovative pre-kindergarten
 8 programs [and to encourage program creativity through competition].
 9 5. The department shall develop a scoring system, which it shall use
 10 to evaluate which applications shall be funded [on a competitive basis]
 11 based on merit and factors including but not limited to the criteria
 12 listed above and student and community need. [Upon review of applica-
 13 tions, if the program is oversubscribed in any region or regions of the
 14 state, the department shall notify the division of the budget, which
 15 shall develop a plan for distribution of available slots within any
 16 oversubscribed region.] The subscription for the New York city region is
 17 three hundred million dollars. The subscription for each region of the
 18 state other than the New York city region shall be in an amount suffi-
 19 cient to provide slots for all qualifying programs. The department shall
 20 allocate full-day pre-kindergarten conversion slots and new full-day
 21 pre-kindergarten slots based on available funding and shall make
 22 payments upon documentation of eligible expenditures in the base year,
 23 which shall be limited to the actual number of slots operated and paid
 24 on a per-pupil basis pursuant to subdivision fourteen of this section.
 25 § 3. This act shall take effect on the first of July next succeeding
 26 the date on which it shall have become a law.

 EXPLANATION--Matter in italics (underscored) is new; matter in brackets
 [ ] is old law to be omitted.
