HB 64 Win, Continued Action Needed on Funding for Early Childhood Education in State Budget
Dear Advocates,
We are thrilled to report that HB 64, which levies a state tax on fantasy sports contests and dedicates the proceeds of the tax to the Louisiana Early Childhood Fund, passed the state Senate unanimously. Thank you for contacting your Senators on this bill - it made a difference!
ACTION: The Senate Finance Committee is meeting TODAY, June 24, at 1 p.m. to consider HB 1, the state budget. Please continue to urge committee members to add $25.1 million to the state budget to maintain access to the Child Care Assistance Program for 4,000 children of essential workers. Supporting materials for your outreach are linked below.
Public engagement truly matters, and we thank you in advance for supporting Louisiana's children. Please let us know if you have any questions or concerns.
