The committee print contains recommendations responding to reconciliation directives in the FY2022 budget resolution (S.Con.Res. 14). Section 23002 of Subtitle D makes recommendations for a new Universal Preschool program. According to the committee's fact sheet, the Universal Preschool program (highlights of which are discussed in this Insight), together with a proposed child care entitlement program (discussed in CRS Insight IN11750, Child Care: House Committee on Education and Labor Committee's FY2022 Reconciliation Recommendations), are expected to cost a combined $450 billion throughout the reconciliation budget window. Appropriations Section 23002 recommends open-ended mandatory appropriations of such sums as may be necessary for each of FY2022-FY2028 to carry out this section. Funds would be appropriated to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS); the program would be administered by HHS in collaboration with the U.S. Department of Education (ED). HHS would provide funds to states, territories, local entities serving families engaged in migrant or seasonal agricultural labor, and Indian tribes, tribal organizations, and Urban Indian organizations. In addition, certain amounts would be reserved for HHS administrative costs (including costs of monitoring, technical assistance, and research), grants to improve compensation in Head Start programs, and grants to eligible localities located in states that have indicated they do not intend to submit an application and plan for funds under this section. Eligible Children and Providers Eligible children would be those ages three or four on the date established by the local educational agency for kindergarten entry. There would be no income, asset, or parental activity requirements. Congressional Research Service https://crsreports.congress.gov IN11751 CRS INSIGHT Prepared for Members and Committees of Congress
