	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 445, as amended, Alejo.  Marriage.   Child
day care facilities: nutrition.  
   Existing law, the California Child Day Care Facilities Act,
administered by the State Department of Social Services, provides for
the licensure and regulation of child day care facilities. Existing
law requires childhood nutrition training for certain licensees to
include information about reimbursement rates for the United States
Department of Agriculture Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP).
 
   The bill would further require the department to inform
prospective and current child day care providers about CACFP by
posting specified information on the department's Internet Web site,
and by disseminating information by other means deemed appropriate by
the department.  
   Existing law enumerates persons who are authorized to solemnize a
marriage, including any priest, minister, rabbi, or authorized person
of any religious denomination.  
   This bill would add a tribal court judge who has been authorized
by tribal ordinance to solemnize marriages.
   Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee:  no
  yes  . State-mandated local program: no.
