AI Summary
This bill modifies the "Have a Heart, Be a Star, Help Our Kids" special license plate program and the California Legacy License Plate Program to increase funding for child health and safety initiatives. It allows applicants for California Legacy License Plates to choose a symbol from the "Have a Heart, Be a Star, Help Our Kids" plates for an additional fee, with these funds split between the Child Health and Safety Fund and the California Environmental License Plate Fund. The bill also increases the fees for the initial issuance and renewal of the "Have a Heart, Be a Star, Help Our Kids" plates. Furthermore, it reallocates the funds generated by these license plates: before July 1, 2027, 50% will go to childcare provider licensing, oversight, recruitment, training, and development, with the remainder for childcare safety and health; after July 1, 2027, 50% will fund programs addressing child health and safety concerns, and the other 50% will support child abuse prevention efforts.
