                                BILL NUMBER:S3503

TITLE OF BILL:  An act to amend the economic development law, in
relation to the "childcare and early education sector on the economy
act"

PURPOSE: The purpose of this bill is to require the Department of Labor
to conduct a study of the economic impact that the child care industry
has had on the state economy. The study of the economic impact of the
child-care industry shall include an analysis of the number of workers
directly employed at childcare and early education facilities, a deter-
mination as to the gross receipts of the industry, the value of goods
and services purchased by the child care and early education industry
and the amount of federal dollars flowing to the state for child care
and early education. The study will also evaluate the degree to which
available child care and early education enables parents to work outside
of the home and earn income, enable parents to attend educational
programs, decreases absenteeism at work and attracts businesses to New
York State. This study will further include an analysis of the demo-
graphic data to identify the relative cap between the needs in the state
and the available resources, and the return to the economy, if that gap
is closed. The study will review available literature regarding the
impact of childcare and early education programs on children's future
ability to contribute to the workforce. The Department shall report the
results of the study of the economic impact of the childcare industry to
the governor and the legislature on or before January first, two thou-

sand and six.

SUMMARY OF SPECIFIC PROVISIONS: This bill amends the Economic Develop-
ment Law by adding a new Article 21 and Sections 450, 451, 452, 453, by
requiring the Department of Labor to conduct a study of the economic
impact of the childcare industry and submit the results of the study to
the governor and the legislature.

JUSTIFICATION: Currently, there does not exist any requirement for a
public agency to conduct a comprehensive study which would serve to
identify the economic impact that the child care industry has had on the
New York State economy. It is essential for the state's economic well
being to conduct a study in order to determine the value that the child
care industry has had on the state economy and thereby expend state
resources in the most effective manner possible based upon the results
of this study.

PRIOR LEGISLATIVE HISTORY:  2009-12: S.2168/A.10133 - Referred to
Economic Development This legislation was initially introduced in 2006
as A.12047.

FISCAL IMPLICATIONS: None.

EFFECTIVE DATE: This act shall take effect on the first of July next
succeeding the date on which it shall have become a law.

information  about  the  economic  benefits  and burdens of investing in
expanded childcare and early education programs within the state.

economy  of  quality childcare and early education programs for children
aged 0-4, and after-school programs for children aged 5-12.
  S 3. The economic development law is amended by adding a  new  article
21 to read as follows:
                               ARTICLE 21
