HB 5614 mandates free full-day prekindergarten for eligible children, modifying the Education Code to ensure that school districts cannot charge tuition for prekindergarten classes. It requires school districts to provide full-day programs rather than half-day options for children aged three and older, provided that at least 15 eligible children are identified. The bill also removes provisions allowing districts to offer prekindergarten on a half-day basis for younger students. Additionally, it allows parents to re-enroll their child in prekindergarten if they were eligible but did not attend in the previous school year​.
