2019 legislative reports
All you need to know about policy changes across the US
The Ounce's policy work is deeply rooted in our home state of Illinois, where we seek to shape and strengthen the state’s early childhood system through legislative, administrative and grassroots advocacy. Our Illinois Policy Team works diligently to ensure that the state’s major funding streams, legislation, and federal and state initiatives prioritize early childhood programs. Legislation led by the Ounce and its advocacy partners this year can be found in the 2019 Illinois Legislative Summary.
In addition to our work in Illinois, our National Policy Team builds on lessons learned in Illinois and other states to provide consultation to early childhood advocates and other state and local systems leaders across the country. The State Policy Update Report provides a snapshot of policy changes across the country, demonstrating the breadth of the work done by state early childhood leaders and advocates throughout the U.S. this past legislative session. |
