LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST
The act establishes the Child Care Facilities Revolving Fund in the State Treasury to provide funding for loans for the renovation, repair, or improvement of an existing building to make the building suitable for licensure for child care and development services, and for the purchase of new relocatable child care facilities for lease to local educational agencies and contracting agencies that provide child care and development services.
This bill would establish in the State Department of Education the Classroom Planning and Implementation Grant Program, to be administered by the Superintendent, in order to reflect the additional start-up costs of opening new general child care and development centers
and California state preschool program classrooms or converting existing classrooms to serve a different child age group, as provided. The bill would require the Superintendent to award grants, as provided, upon appropriation by the Legislature.
