Relating to developing a strategic plan for the improvement and expansion of early learning and educational opportunities for young children with disabilities.
HB 2310 requires the Texas Education Agency, in collaboration with the Health and Human Services Commission and Texas Workforce Commission, to develop a strategic plan improving early learning opportunities for young children with disabilities or developmental delays. The plan must address barriers to inclusion in prekindergarten programs, early childhood special education, and subsidized childcare, while recommending policy, funding, and training changes. Key provisions include strategies for inclusive settings, analysis of current challenges, and recommendations for provider staffing and resource coordination. The bill directly affects children with disabilities and the programs serving them, including public schools, childcare providers, and early intervention services. It does not create new programs but mandates a coordinated state plan to enhance existing early education access.

MINOR
The bill text was reformatted from a draft version to an enrolled version, adding official signatures, certification of passage by both legislative chambers, and the governor's approval. The substantive policy content regarding the strategic plan for early learning opportunities for children with disabilities remains unchanged.
TECHNICAL
Added enrolled version header, official signatures for Senate President and House Speaker, and certification statements confirming the bill passed both chambers and was approved by the Governor.
Removed draft formatting markers, page numbers, and legislative markup annotations that were present in the previous version.
Reorganized text layout to match official enrolled bill formatting standards, though the underlying policy language and requirements remain identical.
