Finally, it requires that all Child Care Centers, operating in a building constructed before January 1, 2010, shall have their drinking water tested for excessive lead levels, on or after January 1, 2020, but no later than January 1, 2023. Child Care Centers must thereafter test their drinking water every five years after the date of the initial test. The Department must adopt regulations in consultation with the State Water Resources Control Board for the implementation of the requirements for the testing of drinking water for lead in Child Care Centers by January 1, 2021. The regulations shall include requirements to ensure the collection and submission of valid water samples.
- AB605 – Child day care facilities, birth to school-age license; Effective January 1, 2021 - The statute…requires the California Department of Social Services (“CDSS” or “Department”) to adopt regulations on or before January 1, 2021 to implement the single center license category and ensure existing health and safety requirements. Before January 1, 2024, all child care centers shall be transitioned to a single center license. Due to the impact of the COVID-19 public health emergency on child care settings, and the need for CDSS’ ongoing efforts to prevent and mitigate the spread of COVID-19 in child care settings and to protect the health and safety of children in care, the adoption of single center license regulations has been delayed and continued delays are anticipated.
