"This bipartisan legislation is a win for businesses, child care providers, and most importantly, Kansas children and families. Now, our early childhood system will no longer be bogged down by inefficiencies and bureaucratic red tape. I look forward to signing House Bill 2045 as we streamline access to high-quality early childhood services and make Kansas the premier place to raise a family."

“Abruptly stripping this funding is a disservice to the Kansas students and teachers who rely on it to excel in the classroom. This funding is critical for our schools to continue setting Kansas children up for a strong start to life.
