BILL NUMBER: SB 749INTRODUCED BILL TEXT INTRODUCED BY Senator Morrell FEBRUARY 27, 2015 An act to amend Section 1596.65 of the Health and Safety Code, relating to child care. LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST SB 749, as introduced, Morrell. Child care: trustline registry. Existing law requires the State Department of Social Services to establish a trustline registry for trustline providers who meet prescribed requirements. Existing law defines a trustline provider as a person 18 years of age or older who provides child care, supervision, or in-home educational or counseling services, and who is not required to be licensed as a child day care facility. Existing law prohibits an employment agency from making a referral of a child care provider unless the child care provider is a trustline applicant or registered child care provider. This bill would make a technical, nonsubstantive change to a provision related to the trustline registry. Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: no. State-mandated local program: no.
