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 ensuring the presence, at all times, of at least one care provider who is 18 years of age or older. By increasing the funds paid to the department for purposes of the trustline registry, this bill would make an appropriation.
