Illinois Governor JB Pritzker plans to give his 2023 State of the State and FY24 Budget Address on Wednesday, February 15th at 12 p.m. before a joint session of state representatives and state senators at the State Capitol.
During the address, Pritzker will promote his program Smart Start Illinois, which aims to offer all children in the state preschool, predictable funding for the state’s childcare system, investment in new early childhood facilities, and resources to extend early childhood support.
Pritzker plans to allocate $440 million in his proposed budget to achieve these goals, and more details will be released later today.
