Official Summary Text

AB 2379, as amended, Solache.
Childcare workers: immigration rights.
Family daycare homes: Fourth Amendment training.
Existing law, the California Child Day Care Facilities Act, provides for the licensure and regulation of child daycare facilities, including daycare centers and
family
daycare homes, by the State Department of Social Services. Existing
law
law imposes various training requirements on child daycare facilities, including, among others, at least 15 hours of specified health and safety training that includes pediatric first aid, pediatric CPR, and preventive health practices, and mandated reporter training. A person who willfully or repeatedly violates any provision of the act or any rule or regulation promulgated under
the act is guilty of a crime.
Existing law
prohibits licensed child daycare facilities, employees of licensed child daycare facilities, and license-exempt California state preschool program facilities from collecting information or documents regarding citizenship or immigration status of children or their family members.
Existing law also requires the Attorney General, by April 1, 2026, in consultation with the appropriate stakeholders, to publish model policies limiting assistance with immigration enforcement at child daycare facilities, as specified, and requires the State Department of Social Services to inform licensed daycare facilities of the model policies.
This bill would state the intent of the Legislature to enact legislation to ensure childcare workers have access to resources and education regarding protecting their immigration rights.
This bill would require the State Department of Social Services to notify all licensed and license-exempt family daycare home providers of a person’s rights under the Fourth Amendment to the United States Constitution, as specified, and would also require the department to designate a statewide entity to develop and provide a training program about those rights. The bill would require the designated statewide entity to offer the training program commencing July 1, 2026, and would require licensed family daycare home providers to complete the training within specified timeframes. The bill would specify that a violation of these requirements is not subject to criminal, civil, or administrative penalties.
This bill would declare that it is to take effect immediately as an urgency statute.
