LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST SB 1087, as amended, Walters. Organized camps. Existing law permits a participating program operated by a city, county, or nonprofit organization in the After School Learning and Safe Neighborhoods Partnership Program to operate for up to 30 hours per week without obtaining a license or special permit otherwise required under existing law. The bill would increase the authorization to 60 hours per week, provided that an individual pupil cannot attend the program for more than 30 hours per week. Existing law regulates the licensure and administration of day care centers and family day care centers and exempts specified recreation programs conducted for children from these regulations. The bill would expand the scope of this exemption to organized  resident and day  camps or similar organizations. Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: no. State-mandated local program: no. THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS: SECTION 1. Section 8484.3 of the Education Code is amended to read: 8484.3.
