SB4847, also known as the Summer for All Act, aims to create a new Summer for All program. This program would provide summer enrichment expansion grants and summer programming state grants. The goal is to offer more educational and enrichment activities for children and youth during the summer months. This bill was introduced on June 22, 2026, and has been referred to the Committee on Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions for further review.

This initiative would primarily affect children and young people by providing them with more opportunities to learn and grow outside of the regular school year. It seeks to ensure that all children have access to valuable educational experiences and activities during the summer. The bill was sponsored by several senators, including Christopher Murphy, Ben Luján, Chris Van Hollen, Cory Booker, and Andy Kim.

As of June 22, 2026, the bill has been introduced and read twice in the Senate. It has then been referred to the Committee on Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions, which will review and consider the bill further. The future steps will depend on the committee's actions and recommendations.
