FUNDING FOR EARLY CHILDHOOD EDUCATION SERVICES (Sections 67.547 and 67.5420) This act provides that current law relating to the distribution of sales tax proceeds in St. Louis County shall not apply to a tax for the purpose of funding early childhood educational services, and requires that such proceeds shall be deposited in the county's Early Childhood Education Fund, which is created by the act.

The administrative control and management of such funds shall be by the board of directors responsible for the administration of a city or county Community Children's Services Fund. The board of directors shall use or disburse the funds in the Early Childhood Education Fund to provide and administer programs subsidizing the cost of providing early childhood education, prioritizing children in financial need.
