Key Recommendations
• Continue the rulemaking authority of the Executive Director for seven
years, until 2031. (Was set to terminate on 9/1/24).
You can read the full report here:
The report outlines the criteria for determining whether to sunset a rule:
The ninth sunset criterion questions the economic impact of the program and, if
national economic information is not available, whether the agency stimulates or
restricts competition. One way this may be accomplished is to review the economic
impacts of investing in early childhood education. However, research indicates every dollar spent on early childhood care, education or both yields a return of between $7.30 and $8.60 in economic returns.
