Creates Dolly Parton's statewide imagination library program
What changed between versions
The bill was renumbered from S. 3154 to S. 3154--A and the primary legal authority changed from the Education Law to the Social Services Law.
The joint custody of the Imagination Library fund was changed from the State Comptroller and Commissioner of Education to the State Comptroller and Commissioner of Children and Family Services.
All references to the 'state librarian' were replaced with 'office of children and family services,' transferring operational control, oversight, and reporting duties to the new agency.
The definition of a 'qualified local entity' was updated to refer to a 'local program partner' instead of a 'local affiliate,' reflecting the new administrative structure.
Minor text adjustments were made to ensure consistency with the new agency name and to clarify that the program covers children from birth to their fifth birthday, inclusive.
