Exempts early learning coalitions from the Administrative Procedure Act (chapter 120) and Florida's public procurement law (chapter 287), but requires them to comply with applicable federal regulations for expenditure and procurement of federal and state funds.

Increases the maximum number of early learning coalitions from 30 to 31 and changes the school readiness plan review period from annual to biennial (every 2 years).

Authorizes school readiness payment rates that create standards or levels of services if recognized by the Federal Government as appropriate use of funding.

Requires early learning coalitions to comply with federal requirements for funding quality activities (45 C.F.R. § 98.51) and federal regulations for child care resource and referral agency selection.
