Establishes a committee to study the feasibility of funding a kindergarten to college/career ready program and a universal college savings account
This bill creates a committee to study whether New York should establish two programs: a kindergarten-to-college/career readiness initiative and a universal college savings account, specifically targeting low and moderate income families. The committee will examine existing programs in other states (like San Francisco and Ohio), review enrollment data, consult with financial institutions, and develop a funding proposal by November 2024. The bill itself does not fund or create these programs - only authorizes a feasibility study to inform future legislation. It is a procedural measure with no immediate policy changes.
