Bill > SB1200

This bill, by changing the definition of "infant" within the California Child Day Care Facilities Act, aims to adjust the regulations for family daycare homes, which are facilities licensed by the State Department of Social Services to provide childcare in a home setting. Currently, existing law allows small family daycare homes to care for up to 8 children and large family daycare homes to care for up to 14 children, with specific rules applying to the inclusion of infants, defined as children under 2 years of age. This bill proposes to redefine an "infant" for these purposes as a child under 18 months of age, which could impact the ratios and supervision requirements for very young children in these licensed family daycare settings.
