LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


AB 1195, as introduced, Brownley. Child care and development
programs: advisory committee.
The Child Care and Development Services Act, administered by the
State Department of Education, requires the Superintendent of Public
Instruction to administer child care and development programs, which
offer a full range of services for children from infancy to 13 years
of age who are eligible for child care and developmental services.
Existing law requires the Governor to appoint an advisory committee
to assist the State Department of Education in developing a state
plan for child development programs pursuant to that act.
This bill would require the advisory committee to assist the
department in the development of a plan to implement any new federal
grant funds made available after March 1, 2009, for child care and
development programs and early childhood education.
