Added by Stats. 2021, Ch. 116, Sec. 260. (AB 131) Effective July 23, 2021.
(a)The Legislature recognizes that child care and preschool programs have made valuable contributions towards ensuring that public assistance recipients will be able to accept and maintain employment or employment-related training. Therefore, it is the intent of the Legislature that the department ensure that counties comply with the requirements of Section 10308.5.
(b)The department shall ensure each county’s compliance with Section 10308.5 by not issuing funds to a local child care contractor within a county until the department has received written certification from that county that the level of expenditure for child care services provided by the county has been maintained at the 1970–71 fiscal year level pursuant to Section

10308.5. Funding provided by a county to a local child care or preschool contractor shall not adversely affect the reimbursement received by the agency from the department pursuant to Sections 10280, 10281.5, and 10282.5.
