	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   SB 766, as amended, Yee. Ancillary day care centers.
   Existing law requires a person 18 years of age or older who
provides child care or child care supervision in an ancillary day
care center, as defined, to be registered as a trustline provider, as
specified.  A person is prohibited from being a trustline
provider if he or she is not eligible to obtain a child care license.
 Existing law requires the State Department of Social Services
to charge a fee to each trustline applicant who provides care in an
ancillary day care center that is equal to the total amount required
by the department to process applications and maintain the trustline
registry for these providers. Under existing law, moneys collected by
the department to implement the trustline provisions are
continuously appropriated to the department without regard to fiscal
year for expenditure to implement the trustline provisions.
   This bill would, in addition, require a person who is otherwise
responsible for engaging with children cared for in an ancillary day
care center to be registered as a trustline provider.
   The bill would require an ancillary day care center to comply with
certain requirements, including  the requirements to
maintain specified care provider-child ratios and ensure 
 ensuring  the presence, at all times, of at least one care
provider who is 18 years of age or older.
   By increasing the funds  appropriated   paid
 to the department for purposes of the trustline registry, this
bill would make an appropriation.
   Vote: majority. Appropriation: yes. Fiscal committee: yes.
State-mandated local program: no.


THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:

  SECTION 1.  Section 1596.656 of the Health and Safety Code is
amended to read:
   1596.656.  (a) A person 18 years of age or older, who provides
child care or child care supervision, or is otherwise responsible for
engaging with children cared for in an ancillary day care center, as
defined in Section 1596.60, shall be registered pursuant to Sections
1596.603 and 1596.605. Nothing in this chapter shall be construed to
prevent a person under 18 years of age from being employed in an
ancillary day care center.
   (b) Notwithstanding any provision of law to the contrary, if a
person 18 years of age or older is denied trustline registration by
the department pursuant to Section 1596.605 or 1596.607, or if the
department revokes a person's trustline registration pursuant to
Section 1596.608, that person shall be ineligible for employment in a
position providing child care or child care supervision in an
ancillary day care center.
   (c) If an existing employee providing child care or child care
supervision in an ancillary day care center, or a prospective
employee seeking employment in a position that provides child care or
child care supervision in an ancillary day care center, submits an
application to the department to become a registered trustline child
care provider, that existing or prospective employee shall be deemed
to be in compliance with the requirements of this section and
permitted to work in a position providing child care or child care
supervision pending the department's review of his or her trustline
application. The existing or prospective employee shall become
ineligible for employment providing child care or child care
supervision in an ancillary day care center if the department denies
his or her trustline application and any right to appeal the
department's denial has been exhausted or has expired.
  SEC. 2.  Chapter 3.37 (commencing with Section 1596.69) is added to
Division 2 of the Health and Safety Code, to read:
