32 | 101700.6 Grant Funding for Qualifying Child care Centers
(a) Senate Bill 862, Chapter 449, Statutes of 2018 allocated $5 Million to the State Water Resources Control Board for testing and remediation of lead in the drinking water of Child Care Centers based on the following criteria:
(1) Those that serve children zero to five years of age, with the highest priority for Child Care Centers that provide care for children zero to three years of age.
(2) Those that have 50 percent or more of their registered children who receive subsidized care.
(3) Those that operate only one facility.
(b) To determine a Child Care Center’s eligibility for possible funding the Department will provide access to a link to an online eligibility form located on the Department’s website and on Sacramento State’s Office of Water Programs website.
(1) A Child Care Center interested in financial assistance shall complete the eligibility form, which shall include instructions for completing and returning it, prior to receiving any grant funding for which it may qualify. To determine a Child Care Center’s eligibility for possible funding, the provider will need to complete an online eligibility form available at Office of Water Programs’ website
Due to the agency not taking action to test for the preschool program as required in the Health and Safety Code Section 1597.16(a)(1), where all licensed Child Care Centers (CCCs) constructed before January 1, 2010 to test their drinking water for lead contamination between January 1, 2020 and January 1, 2023, deficiency has been cited. See LIC809D.
