             The following information is revised to reflect amendments 
                     adopted by the committee on August 27, 2015


          Bill  
          Summary:  AB 1207 would require all providers, administrators,  
          and employees of licensed child day care facilities to complete  
          training in the identification and reporting of child abuse and  
          neglect under the child abuse reporting laws, as specified.  


          Fiscal  
          Impact:  
           One-time minor costs (General Fund), for the Department of  
            Social Services (DSS) to develop and adopt regulations. 
           Minor ongoing workload for the DSS to disseminate information  
            and offer the training course online.

           Delay implementation of the requirements on DSS, providers,  
            administrators, and employees by one year to January 1, 2018.
           Specify that DSS make information available versus provide  
            statewide instruction to all providers, administrators, and  
            employees of licensed child day care facilities.
           Make other technical and clarifying changes.
