AN ACT to amend the economic development law, in relation to the "child-
  care and early education sector on the economy act"

  Section 1. Short title. This act shall be known and may  be  cited  as
the "childcare and early education sector on the economy act".
  S  2.  Legislative  findings and purpose. The legislature hereby finds
and declares that there appears to be a serious shortage of high-quality

early education programs provide a substantial economic payoff to commu-

crucial for the governor and legislators to obtain  reliable,  objective
information  about  the  economic  benefits  and burdens of investing in
expanded childcare and early education programs within the state.
  The purpose of this act is to study the economic impact on  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
22 to read as follows:
                               ARTICLE 22
         ECONOMIC IMPACT OF CHILDCARE AND EARLY EDUCATION SECTOR
SECTION 450. DEFINITIONS.
        451. STUDY OF THE ECONOMIC IMPACT OF THE CHILDCARE INDUSTRY.
        452. NATURE OF THE STUDY.
        453. REPORT.
  S 450. DEFINITIONS. FOR PURPOSES OF THIS ARTICLE, "CHILDCARE AND EARLY
EDUCATION" MEANS:
