BILL NUMBER: S2695 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 legislature hereby finds and declares that there appears to be a serious shortage of high-quality childcare and early education options in communities throughout New York state. There is a strong consensus among researchers that childcare and early education programs provide a substantial economic payoff to commu- nities where they are located. The legislature declares that it is 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. § 3. The economic development law is amended by adding a new article 23 to read as follows: ARTICLE 23 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. § 450. DEFINITIONS. FOR PURPOSES OF THIS ARTICLE, "CHILDCARE AND EARLY EDUCATION" MEANS: EXPLANATION--Matter in ITALICS (underscored) is new; matter in brackets [ ] is old law to be omitted.
