Council on Early Literacy Curricula (CELC) must recommend early literacy curricula and instructional materials to the Department of Public Instruction at least once every 3 school years, changed from the current annual requirement

DPI's deadline to submit recommendations to the Joint Committee on Finance shortened from 30 days to 14 days after receiving CELC's recommendations

DPI must simultaneously submit recommendations to appropriate legislative standing committees at the same time as JCF submission

Submissions must clearly indicate which recommendations originate from CELC and which come from DPI

Recommendations no longer limited to use in the following school year, allowing for longer-term curriculum planning
