Summary

Official abstract published by the California legislature· summary

Existing law, the California Child Day Care Facilities Act, sets forth requirements for licensure as a daycare center. This bill, except as specified, would authorize on and after January 1, 2027, when the state constructs, acquires, or receives as a gift any office building that can accommodate state employees, or when additions, alterations, or repairs are made to any existing state-owned office building, and the additions, alterations, or repairs both change and affect the use of 25 percent of the net square foot area of the building and include addition to, alteration of, or repair of the first floor, priority to be given to licensed childcare providers, as defined, that seek to contract with the Director of General Services (director) to use a part of the space as a daycare center, as defined. The bill would subject the use of the space as a daycare center to terms and conditions set forth by the director, including as to cost. This bill would authorize the director to secure other space not attached to a state-owned office building for use as a daycare center if funds are made available for those purposes and the director determines one of certain conditions exist. The bill would also authorize existing state-owned office buildings to be retrofitted to accommodate a daycare center at the director's discretion, to the extent that state funds are made available for those purposes. The bill would set forth priority for enrollment of children in daycare centers established pursuant to the bill's provisions. This bill would require compliance with local and state safety building codes for daycare centers in state-owned office buildings. The bill would exclude from the bill's provisions office buildings used or owned by the state that provide care or 24-hour residential care for patients, inmates, or wards of the state.
