Child day care facilities.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 regulation generally requires child daycare facilities that are licensed by the State Department of Social Services to require proof of each childs immunizations, including tuberculosis testing, and to maintain files of this proof on the premises. Existing law exempts from these requirements any child daycare center that exclusively offers a program of services for which there is no contract or agreement between the parent and the center for the regular care of the child, and there is no prearranged schedule of care for any child. Existing law requires parents using these exempt child daycare centers to sign a form acknowledging that they understand the center is not required to verify immunizations and tuberculosis testing for any children accepted for care. Existing law makes a willful or repeated violation of the act a crime.This bill would define the child daycare facilities subject to the above exemption as drop-in childcare centers and would make conforming changes. The bill would require, upon admission of a child to a drop-in childcare center, if the medical assessment required by department regulations is not available for the child, a licensee to obtain a written health assessment completed by the childs authorized representative, as specified. By expanding the scope of a crime, this bill would impose a state-mandated local program.The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the state.
