Legislative Roundup!

mainechildrensalliance • July 8, 2019
After months of advocacy and negotiations, the first regular session of the 129th Legislature has come to a close. Together, we worked to provide data and promote policies that will help all Maine children reach their full potential. Check out the highlights of the session below!
Promoting Early Care and Education Programs that Give Young Children a Strong Start

The Children's Caucus continued this session, co-chaired this time by Sen. Rebecca Millett and Rep. Sawin Millett, giving lawmakers an opportunity to gain a deeper understanding of issues in early childhood, through guest speakers who are experts in early childhood areas of health and well-being. Through the caucus, legislators can acquire the best data and information to inform their consideration of early childhood bills that come before them in the Legislature.
