Family child care providers are not public employees, and this chapter does not create an employer-employee relationship between family child care providers and the state, any agency or department of the state, any political subdivision of the state, or a contractor or subcontractor administering a state-funded early care and education program, for any purpose, including, but not limited to, eligibility for health or retirement benefits, workers’ compensation, unemployment insurance, liability under the Labor Code or state wage orders, or vicarious liability in tort. This chapter does not alter the status of a family child care provider as a business owner, an employee of a family, or a contractor.
