Bill > AB1528

This bill makes two key changes to California's childcare and development services law. First, it expands the definition of allowable "attendance" for reimbursement purposes by adding medical and educational appointments to the list of excused absences. Additionally, the bill allows contractors to claim attendance for days when they are required to hold a space for a child during periods when a family is assumed to have abandoned care or is appealing disenrollment. Second, the bill extends the period during which families receiving child protective services can be exempt from paying childcare fees from 12 months to 24 months. These modifications aim to provide more flexibility for families accessing subsidized childcare services and reduce financial barriers for those receiving child protective services, ultimately supporting families' ability to maintain consistent childcare arrangements while addressing their personal and professional needs.
