| CA | Vetoed 09/2004 | P-12 | Requires the Child Development Division of the Department of Education to provide to the Superintendent of Public Instruction a baseline assessment of the supply and demand for subsidized and unsubsidized child care, to be updated every two years. Requires the division to convene a task force to develop and submit to the Legislature a Child Care and Development Workforce Development Plan. Requires the division to conduct a biennial assessment of the reimbursement rate system for subsidized child care. Requires the division to conduct specified
activities as part of the assessment, including developing and implementing a pilot program, to test a reimbursement rate system that uses a uniform regional base rate based on market rates drawn from the regional market rate survey for infants, preschool children, and schoolage children. Requires the division to develop criteria for enhancements to the reimbursement rates paid to subsidized child care providers for demonstrated quality program components. Requires the superintendent, based on the assessment prepared by the division, to provide specified recommendations to the Legislature to improve the rate setting procedures of the division. Requires the recommendations to include
recommendations on the impact of the reimbursement rate pilot program and recommendations regarding the reimbursement rate quality enhancements proposed by the division.
Establishes the Option for Expanded Business Opportunities for the purpose of authorizing family child care providers to select agents to represent them to act collectively on specified matters, including negotiating for and purchasing group benefits, representing family child care
providers in disputes or enforcement proceedings, and negotiating and entering into contracts with public and private entities that administer state funded public subsidies for family child care services. Authorizes a family child care provider to select an agent to represent the provider and deems an agent a certified agent upon verification by the State Mediation and Conciliation Services that the agent has written authorization for representation from 20% of all licensed family providers in the state. Requires the State Department of Education to adopt regulations governing the conduct of a certified agent and authorizes the superintendent to order a modification or discontinuance of conduct authorized by the bill if the superintendent determines that the disadvantages attributable to a potential reduction in competition demonstrably outweigh the benefits of the conduct. http://www.leginfo.ca.gov/pub/bill/sen/sb_1851-1900/sb_1897_bill_20040827_enrolled.html

| CA | Signed into law 09/2004 | P-12 | Requires the Superintendent of Public Instruction to contract with entities organized under law to operate family child care home education networks that support educational objectives for children in such licensed homes that serve families eligible for subsidized child care. Requires the family child care home education network programs to provide specified services, including age and developmentally appropriate activities for children, parenting education, and parent involvement. Provides that its provisions do not impose any new requirement on a family child care home education network, as specified.
Under existing law the Child Care and Development Services Act provides services to children to age 14. Changes the maximum age for eligibility in the program to 13, and modifies the definition of ''parent'' under the Child Care and Development Services Act, as specified.
Incorporates additional changes in Section 8208 of the Education Code proposed by AB 2525http://www.leginfo.ca.gov/pub/bill/asm/ab_2501-2550/ab_2525_bill_20040929_chaptered.pdf (chaptered 9-29-04), to be operative only if AB 2525 and this bill are both chaptered and become effective January 1, 2005, and this bill is chaptered last. http://www.leginfo.ca.gov/pub/bill/asm/ab_0351-0400/ab_379_bill_20040929_chaptered.pdf

| CA | Signed into law 09/2004 | P-12 | Changes the maximum age for program eligibility to 13, and modifies the definition of ''parent'' under the Child Care
and Development Services Act. Deletes provision providing a formula for determining whether a family is eligible to receive services under the Child Care and Development Services Act based on the family's income. Deletes provision that children who were receiving services as of January 1, 1998, in certain child care programs, whose family income is above the eligibility level may continue to receive services so long as they continue to meet criteria that applied to the program on December 31, 1997.
Existing law provides that the assigned reimbursement rate for alternative payment programs includes the cost of child care plus the
administrative cost of the alternative payment program. This bill imposes a limit on administrative costs for the alternative payment program.
Existing law contains various provisions relating to the implementation of the plan developed by the Commission on Child Care and Development Services and the expansion of child care and development services. This bill deletes these provisions as they have been superseded by existing law. The existing law requires the State Department of Education to disburse augmentations to the base allocation for the expansion of child care and development programs, with certain requirements. http://www.leginfo.ca.gov/pub/bill/asm/ab_2501-2550/ab_2525_bill_20040929_chaptered.pdf
