INTRODUCED BY Senator DeSaulnier
FEBRUARY 27, 2009
An act to amend Section 1596.60 of the Health and Safety Code,
relating to child day care.
LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST
SB 702, as amended, DeSaulnier. Ancillary day care centers:
employees: trustline providers.
Existing law, the California Child Day Care Facilities Act,
provides for the licensure and regulation of community care and
residential facilities, including, but not limited to, child day care
facilities, by the State Department of Social Services. Under
existing law, a violation of any of these provisions is punishable as
a crime.
Existing law requires the State Department of Social Services to
establish a trustline registry and, upon submission of the trustline
application and fingerprints, to enter into the trustline registry
the provider's name, identification card number, and an indicator
that the provider has submitted an application and fingerprints,
which would be known as a "trustline applicant."
This bill would specify that the trustline registration provisions
apply to an employee of an ancillary day care center, as defined.
Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: yes.
State-mandated local program: no.
