AB 2230: Child daycare facilities.

Official summary

Legislative Counsel’s Digest (official, as of the latest version). Written by nonpartisan legislative staff; reproduced verbatim.

Existing law, the California Child Day Care Facilities Act, provides for the licensure and regulation of child daycare facilities, including daycare centers and daycare homes, by the State Department of Social Services. Under existing law, any person who willfully or repeatedly violates this provision, as specified, is guilty of a misdemeanor. Existing law requires the licensee or administrator of a licensed child daycare facility, as applicable, to report to the State Department of Social Services and Attorney General any requests for information or access to the facility by an officer or employee of a law enforcement agency for the purpose of immigration enforcement.

This bill would, except as required by state or federal law or as required to administer a state or federally supported early care and learning program, prohibit employees of a licensed child daycare facility from providing voluntary consent to a law enforcement officer to enter a nonpublic area unless presented with a valid judicial warrant, judicial subpoena, or a court order or if exigent circumstances exist. The bill would provide that a violation of these provisions is not subject to a criminal, civil, or administrative penalty, and a licensee shall not be subject to a citation and would specify that these provisions do not prevent a child daycare facility from cooperating with law enforcement officers who are participating in a licensing inspection or investigation or investigating potentially criminal conduct discovered as the result of a licensing inspection or investigation conducted by the department.
