AI-generated plain-language summary

This measure would have established a universal preschool program for four-year-olds in California, funded by a 1.7% tax on individual incomes over $400,000 and couple incomes over $800,000. The initiative would have created a new state department to oversee preschool services and established constitutional protections for the program's funding.
