The Illinois Policy Team (IPT) is pleased to release its annual Legislative Agenda, a snapshot of the budget requests and legislative priorities for which Start Early will be advocating during the 2022 spring legislative session. Our goals for the year include:
-
securing additional funding for the Early Childhood Block Grant at the Illinois State Board of Education and voluntary home visiting programs, the Early Intervention (EI) program, and the Child Care Assistance Program (CCAP) at the Illinois Department of Human Services;
-
codifying the existing timeline for the initiation of EI services; and
-
expanding eligibility to CCAP and EI for kids involved in the child welfare system, among other priorities.
|
IPT offers a detailed look at its priorities during the Legislative Session Webinar, now available for on-demand viewing. During this webinar you will learn more about:
-
the state legislative landscape;
-
Governor Pritzker’s Fiscal Year 2023 budget address; and
-
opportunities to support advocacy for young children and families through our Early Childhood Advocacy Series.
