Replaces everything after the enacting clause. Amends the School Code.

Provides that, beginning in Fiscal Year 2016, at least 25% of any additional Early Childhood Education Block Grant funding over and above the previous fiscal year's allocation shall be used to fund programs for children ages 0-3 and once the percentage of grant funding allocated to programs for children ages 0-3 reaches 20% of the overall grant allocation for a full fiscal year, thereafter in subsequent fiscal years the percentage of grant funding allocated to programs for children ages 0-3 each fiscal year shall remain at least 20% of the overall grant allocation. Effective immediately.
