An act to amend, repeal, and add Section 1596.60 of, and to add

relating to child day care, and making an appropriation therefor.
LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST
SB 702, DeSaulnier. Ancillary day care centers: employees:
trustline providers.
Existing law, the California Child Day Care Facilities Act,
provides for the licensure and regulation of 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, who
would be known as a "trustline applicant."
This bill would, commencing January 1, 2011, define an ancillary
day care center, and provide that a person who provides care or
supervision in an ancillary day care center is a provider for
purposes of the trustline registry provisions.
The bill would, commencing January 1, 2011, require a person who
provides child care or child care supervision in an ancillary day
care center to register pursuant to these trustline provisions.
Existing law authorizes the department to charge a fee to
trustline applicants, as specified. Under existing law, moneys
collected by the department to implement the trustline provisions are
continuously appropriated to the department without regard to fiscal
year for expenditure to implement the trustline provisions.
This bill, notwithstanding the existing fee requirements, would
require the department to charge a fee to each trustline applicant
who provides care in an ancillary day care center, that is equal to
the total amount required by the department to process applications
and maintain the trustline registry for these providers. By
increasing the funds appropriated to the department for purposes of
the trustline registry, and creating a new purpose for their
expenditure, this bill would make an appropriation.
This bill would provide that no General Fund moneys would be used
for the bill's implementation.
Appropriation: yes.
