Summary

Existing law, the California Child Day Care Facilities Act, provides for the licensure and regulation of daycare centers by the State Department of Social Services. Existing regulations require a separate license to be issued for each component of a daycare center. Existing law required the department to adopt regulations on or before January 1, 2021, to create a childcare center license to serve infant, toddler, preschool, and schoolage children, and requires, before January 1, 2024, all daycare centers to be licensed as childcare centers. This bill would remove the department's ability to implement this section through the adoption of emergency regulations. The bill would authorize the department to implement and administer these provisions by all-county letter or similar written instructions until regulations are adopted. Existing law requires the department to develop guidelines and procedures to authorize licensed child daycare centers serving infants or preschool age children to create a special optional toddler program component for children between 18 and 36 months of age and requires the program to be considered an extension of the infant center or preschool license. This bill would repeal those provisions on January 1, 2024.
