Bill > AB1937

This bill clarifies that California's existing civil rights laws, specifically the Unruh Civil Rights Act, fully apply to early childcare and education settings, prohibiting discrimination in accessing or receiving these services. The Unruh Civil Rights Act, which ensures equal accommodations in all business establishments regardless of various personal characteristics, is being amended to explicitly include entities and individuals providing early care and education services for a fee or other consideration. This encompasses licensed childcare centers, licensed family childcare homes, and informal care providers, even if they receive public funding. The bill emphasizes that these changes do not limit existing protections or require the disclosure of immigration or citizenship status beyond what is already mandated by law.
