Existing law, until January 1, 2014, authorizes a school district that meets prescribed requirements to deposit the proceeds from the sale of surplus school property, together with any personal property located on that property, purchased entirely with local funds, into the general fund of the school district and to use those proceeds for any one-time general fund purpose. This bill would extend the operation of this provision to January 1, 2016, and would make a conforming change with respect to a certain final report.
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, as defined. Willful or repeated violation of these provisions is a misdemeanor. This bill would require a licensed child day care facility to prohibit the use or possession of choking hazards, including push pins, small toys, marbles, and other items, as specified, in any area of the facility accessible to children 6 years of age or younger. By expanding the definition of a crime, the bill would impose a state-mandated local program. The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the state. Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that reimbursement. This bill would provide that no reimbursement is required by this act for a specified reason.
