	BILL TEXT


INTRODUCED BY   Assembly Members Gorell and Olsen

                        FEBRUARY 20, 2014

   An act relating to preschool.


	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 2107, as introduced, Gorell. Preschool: privately funded pilot
program: tax credits.
    Existing law, the Child Care and Development Services Act,
administered by the State Department of Education, requires the
Superintendent of Public Instruction to administer child care and
development programs that offer a full range of services for eligible
children from infancy to 13 years of age. Existing law requires
school districts with early primary programs to provide educational
continuity from preschool through kindergarten and grades 1 to 3,
inclusive, by accomplishing certain goals, including establishing
connections with public preschools programs, as provided.
   This bill would state that it is the intent of the Legislature to
enact legislation that would do certain things, including
establishing a pilot program for high-quality, investor funded
preschool education in the County of Ventura in which private
entities may invest, in exchange for state tax credits, in
high-quality preschool programs aimed specifically at
intergenerational low-income and English learner pupils.
   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.  It is the intent of the Legislature to enact
legislation that would do all of the following:
   (a) Establish a pilot program for high-quality, investor funded
preschool education in the County of Ventura in which private
entities, either business or individuals, may invest in high-quality
preschool programs aimed specifically at intergenerational low-income
and English learner pupils, to run for a designated period of time.
   (b) Require the County of Ventura to be responsible for compiling
and studying data to determine the program's effectiveness.
   (c) Provide state tax credits to the investors of the preschool
programs.
