What this bill does
Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau
This bill requires the Department of Children and Families to establish a
program to award grants for the provision of books to young children. Under the
grant program, DCF may award grants of no more than $10,000 each to nonprofit
organizations as reimbursement for up to 50 percent of the cost of books that the
organizations provide in partnership with a national reading program that has been
in existence since at least 2003 and that mails age-appropriate books free of charge
to children from birth to age five, regardless of family income.
