SB 18-163

Senate Bill 18-163 extends the lifespan of a committee focused on early childhood and school readiness programs. This bill allows the commission to continue meeting up to four times a year, but only if it gets approval through specific processes or receives support from organizations. The bill also provides funding for the members' travel and expenses when they do meet. Since the status is "signed," this means that the bill has been approved by both houses of the legislature and signed into law by the governor, so the commission can now operate under these new guidelines.
