Ancillary day care centers: employees: trustline providers.

Existing law, the California Child Day Care Facilities Act, provides for the licensure and regulation of child day care facilities by the State Department of Social Services. Under existing law, a violation of any of these provisions is punishable as a crime. Existing law requires the State Department of Social Services to establish a trustline registry and, upon submission of the trustline application and fingerprints, to enter into the trustline registry the provider's name, identification card number, and an indicator that the provider has submitted an application and fingerprints, who would be known as a "trustline applicant." This bill would, commencing January 1, 2011, define an ancillary day care center, and provide that a person who provides care or supervision in an ancillary day care center is a provider for purposes of the trustline registry provisions. The bill would, commencing January 1, 2011, require a person who provides child care or child care supervision in an ancillary day care center to register pursuant to these trustline provisions. Existing law authorizes the department to charge a fee to trustline applicants, as specified. 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, notwithstanding the existing fee requirements, would require the department 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. By increasing the funds appropriated to the department for purposes of the trustline registry, and creating a new purpose for their expenditure, this bill would make an appropriation. This bill would provide that no General Fund moneys would be used for the bill's implementation.
