LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGESTAB 2370, as amended, Holden. Lead exposure: child day care facilities: family day care homes.(1) Under existing law, the California Child Day Care Facilities Act, the State Department of Social Services licenses and regulates child day care facilities, as defined, and family day care home licensees. The act requires that, as a condition of licensure and in addition to any other required training, at least one director or teacher at each day care center, and each family day care home licensee who provides care, have at least 15 hours of health and safety training, covering specified components, including a preventive health practices course or courses on recognition, management, and prevention of infectious diseases and prevention of childhood injuries. A willful or repeated violation of the act, or any rule or regulation promulgated under the act, is a misdemeanor punishable by a fine not to exceed $1,000 or by imprisonment in a county jail for a period not to exceed 180 days, or by both the fine and imprisonment, and a serious violation of the act is subject to daily civil penalties, as specified.This bill would additionally require, as a condition of licensure for licenses issued on or after July 1, 2020, the health and safety training to include instruction in the prevention of lead exposure as a part of the preventive health practices course or courses component. The bill would require the child day care facility, upon enrolling or reenrolling any child, to provide the parent or guardian with written information on the risks and effects of lead exposure, blood lead testing recommendations and requirements, and options for obtaining blood lead testing, as specified.This bill, on or before July 1, 2021, would require the State Department of Social Services, in consultation with the State Water Resources Control Board (state board), to adopt regulations for the testing of drinking water at licensed child day care centers to ensure that lead levels in a centers drinking water do not exceed the relevant action level established by the state board. The bill would require an entity collecting or delivering a centers drinking water sample to a laboratory to verify, under penalty of perjury, that the collection or delivery was performed in accordance with guidelines specified in the bill. The bill would require the adoption of regulations by the department to include a specified public stakeholder process, as specified. The bill would require the regulations to include, among other things, timelines by which the state board shall transmit the testing data to the department. bill would require a licensed child day care center that is located in a building that was constructed before January 1, 2010, to have its drinking water tested for lead contamination levels on a specified schedule and to notify parents or legal guardians of children enrolled in the day care center of the requirement to test the drinking water and the results of the test. If a licensed child day care center is notified that of elevated lead levels, the bill would require the day care center to immediately make inoperable and cease using the affected fountains and faucets and obtain a potable source for water for children and staff. The bill would require the State Water Resources Control Board to post all test results received pursuant to these provisions on its Internet Web site and require the department, in consultation with the State Water Resources Control Board, to adopt regulations implementing these provisions no later than January 1, 2021. The bill would authorize the department to implement and administer these provisions through all-county letters or similar written instructions until regulations are adopted. Because a violation of certain requirements of this bill or regulations adopted under the bill would be a crime, and because the bill would expand the crime of perjury, the bill would impose a state-mandated local program.This bill would require the state board to provide grants for testing drinking water lead levels in licensed child day care centers and other specified activities, from any funds appropriated to the state board in the Budget Act of 2018 for those purposes.(2)Existing law, the California Safe Drinking Water Act, requires the State Water Resources Control Board to administer provisions relating to the regulation of drinking water to protect public health, including, but not limited to, conducting research, studies, and demonstration programs relating to the provision of a dependable, safe supply of drinking water, enforcing the federal Safe Drinking Water Act, adopting implementing regulations, and conducting studies and investigations to assess the quality of water in private domestic water supplies. This bill would require the state board, by January 1, 2020, to develop guidelines for the collection, delivery to laboratories, and testing of child day care center drinking water samples, as specified. The bill would authorize the state board to identify certified or licensed entities qualified to collect and deliver a valid drinking water sample(3)Existing law, the Child Care and Development Services Act, has a purpose of providing a comprehensive, coordinated, and cost-effective system of child care and development services for children from infancy to 13 years of age and their parents, including a full range of supervision, health, and support services through full- and part-time programs.

This bill would specify that a licensed child day care center is eligible to apply for, and receive, loan funding pursuant to these provisions. The bill would require a licensed child day care center that receives loan funding pursuant to these provisions to demonstrate both a financial need and a lack of reasonable alternative funding sources.(4)(2) The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the state.
