EARLY CHILDHOOD: Suspends certain laws relative to the licensure of nonpublic prekindergarten programs as early learning centers

This bill temporarily pauses a state law that requires nonpublic prekindergarten programs to be licensed as early learning centers. It directly affects private schools offering pre-K education by allowing them to operate without this specific licensing requirement for a set period. The suspension is in effect immediately and will last until sixty days after the 2027 legislative session ends. This measure was introduced in response to concerns from some nonpublic schools about potential operational challenges in meeting the new licensing rules.
