Section § 10362
This law talks about creating a county-specific child care subsidy plan in California. Counties need to assess their current child care system to see if it supports working families and aligns with state goals. The evaluation includes looking at demographics, available services, and cost factors like family fees and regional rates. Counties can develop local policies to remove state regulatory barriers and prioritize low-income families, possibly overriding certain state laws regarding fees, eligibility, and reimbursement rates. They can also include all funding sources and must establish outcomes to measure the plan's success. However, the plan cannot change regional market rates or increase reimbursement rates beyond what's set in the Budget Act. Counties can also include CalWORKs child care, ensuring no disruption for families transitioning between child care stages.
For purposes of this chapter, “plan” means an individualized county child care subsidy plan developed and approved as described in Section 10360, which includes all of the following:
(a)CA 福利和机构 Code § 10362(a) An assessment to identify the county’s goal for its subsidized child care system. The assessment shall examine whether the current structure of subsidized child care funding adequately supports working families in the county and whether the county’s child care goals coincide with the state’s requirements for funding, eligibility, priority, and reimbursement. The assessment shall also identify barriers in the state’s child care subsidy system that inhibit the county from meeting its child care goals. In conducting the assessment, the county shall consider all of the following:
(1)CA 福利和机构 Code § 10362(a)(1) The general demographics of families who are in need of child care, including employment, income, language, ethnic, and family composition.
