25 | On June 21st, 2024 at approximately 2:35pm, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) April Wright conducted a Case Management inspection due to the facility's lead testing results. LPA met with the Senior Director Natasha Aguliar. Present during inspection were 102 preschool/toddler age children and 17 staff personnel including the Center Director Latasha Ware. LPA toured the facility for health and safety inspection.
LPA discussed with the Senior Center Director that Assembly Bill (AB) 2370, Chapter 676, Statutes of 2018, requires 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, and then every 5 years after the date of the first test. Health and Safety (HSC) Code section 1597.16 authorizes the Department to implement and administer procedures for lead testing at CCCs through written instructions until it adopts regulations under the Administrative Procedure Act.
