legislative counsel’s digest


AB 94, as amended, Committee on Budget. Budget Act of 2011.
Education finance: Budget Act of 2011.
(1)  Existing law requires the county superintendent of schools of
each county, among other specified duties, to make annual visits to
each school in his or her county to observe its operation and to learn
of its problems. Existing law requires that the priority objective of those
visits is the determination of whether each school has sufficient

98
AB 94 —2—

textbooks, as defined. Existing law, until July 1, 2013, and for the
2008–09 to the 2012–13 fiscal years, inclusive, describes what is meant
by sufficient textbooks or instructional materials for purposes of these
visits by the county superintendent of schools.
This bill would extend the operation of this provision by 2 fiscal years,
until July 1, 2015.
(2)  Existing law requires the Superintendent of Public Instruction to
make specified computations to determine the amount to be allocated
for direct services and other purposes provided by county
superintendents of schools. Under this provision, in each of the fiscal
years from 2008–09 to 2012–13, inclusive, the units of average daily
attendance (ADA) are required to include the same amount of ADA for
classes for adults and regional occupational centers and programs used
in the calculation for the 2007–08 fiscal year.
This bill would extend this provision to apply to the 2013–14 and
2014–15 fiscal years.
(3)  Existing law requires a revenue limit to be calculated for each
county superintendent of schools, adjusted for various factors, and
reduced, as specified. Existing law reduces the revenue limit for each
county superintendent of schools for the 2010–11 fiscal year by a deficit
factor of 18.250%.
This bill would set the deficit factor for each county superintendent
of schools for the 2011–12 and 2012–13 fiscal years at 19.892%.
(4)  The Child Care and Development Services Act, administered by
the State Department of Education, provides that children who are 13
years of age or younger and their parents are eligible, with certain
requirements, for child care and development services.
This bill would instead provide that children who are 10 years of age
or younger, children with exceptional needs, children 12 years of age
or younger who are recipients of child protective services or at risk of
abuse, neglect, or exploitation, children 12 years of age or younger
who are provided services during nontraditional hours, children 12
years of age or younger who are homeless, and children who are 11
and 12 years of age, as funding permits, as specified, are eligible, with
certain requirements, for child care and development services.
(5)  Existing law provides that the preferred placement for a child
who is 11 or 12 years of age and is otherwise eligible for subsidized
child care services is in a before or after school program. Existing law
requires contractors to report annually to the State Department of

98
—3— AB 94

Education the amount of savings resulting from these provisions, as


specified.
This bill would instead provide that a child who is 11 or 12 years of
age and who is otherwise eligible for subsidized child care and
development services, except for his or her age, shall be given first
priority for enrollment, and in cases of programs operating at full
capacity, first priority on the waiting list for a before or after school
program, as specified, and would require contractors to provide each
family of an otherwise eligible 11 or 12 year old child with information
about the availability of before and after school programs located in
the family’s community. This bill would remove provisions requiring
contractors to report savings to the department.
(6)  Existing law provides that necessary supportive services shall
be available to every participant in the CalWORKs program, including
child care, as specified. Existing law provides that, to the extent funds
are available, paid child care shall be available to a participant with
a dependent child in the assistance unit who needs paid child care if
the child is 11 or 12 years of age.
This bill would remove the requirement that paid child care be
available to a participant for a child who is 11 or 12 years of age.
(7)  Existing law provides for income eligibility standards for families
to receive child care and development services. Existing law provides
that “income eligible,” for the purposes of the Child Care and
Development Services Act, means that a family’s adjusted monthly
income is at or below 75% of the state median income, adjusted for
family size, and adjusted annually.
This bill instead would provide that “income eligible,” for the
purposes of the Child Care and Development Services Act, means that
a family’s adjusted monthly income is at or below 70% of the state
median income, adjusted for family size, and adjusted annually.
The bill would provide for the reduction of child care and development
services, and the disenrollment of specified families from subsidized
child care services, in accordance with prescribed priorities.
(8)  Existing law provides for 3 stages of child care for CalWORKs
recipients. Existing law provides that the 3rd stage of child care begins
when a funded child care space is available, and further provides that
CalWORKs recipients are eligible for this stage of child care. Existing
law also provides that persons who received a lump-sum diversion
payment or diversion services and former CalWORKs participants are

98
AB 94 —4—

eligible if they have an income that does not exceed 75% of the state
median income.
This bill instead would provide that persons who received a lump-sum
diversion payment or diversion services and former CalWORKs
participants are eligible if they have an income that does not exceed
70% of the state median income.
(9)  Existing law requires the cost of state-funded child care services
to be governed by regional market rates and requires the regional
market rate ceilings to be established at the 85th percentile of the 2005
regional market rate survey for that region. Existing law prohibits
reimbursement to license-exempt child care providers from exceeding
80% of the family child care home rate established pursuant to these
provisions.
This bill would instead prohibit reimbursement to license-exempt
child care providers from exceeding 60% of the family child care home
rate, effective July 1, 2011.
The bill would adjust the family fee schedule that was in effect for
the 2007–08, 2008–09, 2009–10, 2010–11 fiscal years to reflect income
eligibility limits specified in this bill for the 2011–12 fiscal year. The
bill would require the adjusted fee schedule to be submitted to the
Department of Finance for referral in order to be implemented by July
1, 2011.
(10)  Existing law limits the amount of specified revenue limit
apportionments that counts towards the minimum funding obligation
for the following fiscal year to $1,601,655,000.
This bill would decrease that amount to $1,101,655,000.
(11)  Existing law requires the Controller to draw warrants on the
State Treasury in each month of each year in specified amounts for
principal apportionments for purposes of funding school districts, county
superintendents of schools, and community college districts. Existing
law defers the drawing of those warrants, as specified.
This bill would defer additional specified amounts of the warrants
for school districts and county superintendents of schools from April,
May, and June to July, and from March and April to August. The bill
would make additional deferrals, from February to July, August, and
September, from April to September, and from May to September, for
the 2010–11 fiscal year only.
(12)  The Leroy F. Greene School Facilities Act of 1998 requires the
State Allocation Board to require school districts applying for funds
under that act to deposit, into a specified account for ongoing and major

98
—5— AB 94

maintenance of school buildings, an amount equal to or greater than


3% of the total general fund expenditures of the applicant school district.
Existing law, for the 2008–09 to the 2012–13 fiscal years, inclusive,
reduces that deposit requirement to an amount equal to 1% of the total
general fund expenditures of the applicant school district. Existing law
exempts a school district that maintains its facilities in good repair, as
defined, from this 1% requirement.
This bill would extend the operation of this provision by 2 fiscal years,
through the 2014–15 fiscal year.
(13)  Existing law, until January 1, 2012, authorizes a school district
to deposit the proceeds from the sale of surplus school property, together
with any personal property located on that property, purchased entirely
with local funds, into the general fund of the school district and to use
those proceeds for any one-time general fund purpose.
This bill would extend the operation of this provision to January 1,
2014.
(14)  Existing law, until July 1, 2013, renders inoperative a
requirement for the governing board of a school district to make a
report regarding proposals and plans for expenditure for the deferred
maintenance of school district facilities.
This bill would extend the operation of this provision to July 1, 2015.
(15)  Existing law, to become operative on July 1, 2013, will authorize
the State Allocation Board to each year reserve an amount not to exceed
10% of the funds transferred from any source to the State School
Deferred Maintenance Fund for apportionments to school districts in
instances of extreme hardship.
This bill would delay the operation of this provision until July 1, 2015.
(16)  Existing law establishes the School Facilities Emergency Repair
Account in the State Treasury, and requires the State Allocation Board
to administer the account. Existing law establishes the Proposition 98
Reversion Account in the General Fund, and requires that the
Legislature, from time to time, transfer into this account moneys
previously appropriated in satisfaction of the constitutional minimum
funding requirements that have not been disbursed or otherwise
encumbered for the purposes for which they were appropriated. Existing
law generally requires an amount, equaling 50% of the unappropriated
balance of the Proposition 98 Reversion Account or $100,000,000,
whichever is greater, to be transferred in the annual Budget Act from
the Proposition 98 Reversion Account to the School Facilities

98
AB 94 —6—

Emergency Repair Account. However, the amount to be transferred


under this provision was set at zero for the 2009–10 fiscal year.
This bill would also set at zero the amount to be transferred under
this provision from the Proposition 98 Reversion Account to the School
Facilities Emergency Repair Account for the 2010–11 and 2011–12
fiscal years.
(17)  Existing law, for the 2009–10 fiscal year, sets the minimum state
requirement for a local educational agency’s reserve for economic
uncertainties at 1⁄3 of the percentage for a reserve adopted by the State
Board of Education as of May 1, 2009, and requires a school district
to make progress in the 2010–11 fiscal year to returning to compliance
with the specified standards and criteria adopted by the state board.
Existing law restores this requirement, for the 2011–12 fiscal year, to
the percentage adopted by the state board as of May 1, 2009.
This bill instead would provide that, for the 2010–11 and 2011–12
fiscal years, the minimum state requirement for a local educational
agency’s reserve for economic uncertainties is 1⁄3 of the percentage for
a reserve adopted by the state board as of May 1, 2009, and require a
school district to make progress in the 2012–13 fiscal year to returning
to compliance with the specified standards and criteria adopted by the
state board. This bill would restore this requirement, for the 2013–14
fiscal year, to the percentage adopted by the state board as of May 1,
2009.
(18)  Existing law requires, for the 1990–91 fiscal year and each
fiscal year thereafter, that moneys to be applied by the state for the
support of school districts, community college districts, and direct
elementary and secondary level instructional services provided by the
state be distributed in accordance with certain calculations governing
the proration of those moneys among the 3 segments of public education.
Existing law makes that provision inapplicable to the fiscal years
between 1992–93 and 2010–11, inclusive.
This bill would make that provision inapplicable to the 2011–12 fiscal
year.
(19)  Existing law prescribes the percentage of General Fund revenues
appropriated for school districts and community college districts for
purposes of the provisions of the California Constitution requiring
minimum funding for the public schools.
This bill would require the Director of Finance to adjust that
percentage in a specified manner for purposes of the 2011–12 fiscal
year.

98
—7— AB 94

(20)  Existing law requires the county superintendent of schools to


determine a revenue limit for each school district in the county and
requires the amount of the revenue limit to be adjusted for various
factors. Existing law reduces the revenue limit for each school district
for the 2010–11 fiscal year by a deficit factor of 17.963%.
This bill would maintain the deficit factor for each school district for
the 2011–12 fiscal year at 19.608%.
(21)  Existing law establishes various categorical education programs,
and appropriates the funding for those programs in the annual Budget
Act. Existing law requires the Superintendent of Public Instruction, for
the 2008–09 to 2012–13 fiscal years, inclusive, to apportion from the
amount provided in the annual Budget Act for specified categorical
education programs an amount based on the same relative proportion
that the local educational agency received in the 2008–09 fiscal year
for those programs, with certain exceptions. Existing law authorizes
school districts, for the 2008–09 to 2012–13 fiscal years, inclusive, to
use the categorical education program funds, with specified exceptions,
for any educational purpose.
This bill would extend the operation of this provision for 2 additional
fiscal years, thus extending it through the 2014–15 fiscal year. By
allowing funds appropriated for specified purposes to be expended for
any educational purpose for 2 additional fiscal years, the bill would
make an appropriation.
(22)  Existing law requires the Superintendent of Public Instruction
to allocate, for the 2010–11 fiscal year, a supplemental categorical
block grant to a charter school that began operation in the 2008–09,
2009–10, or 2010–11 fiscal year.
This bill would extend the operation of this provision to require the
Superintendent to make these allocations for the 2011–12 fiscal year,
and to include charter schools that began operation in the 2011–12
fiscal year.
(23)  Existing law establishes the Jack O’Connell Beginning-Teacher
Salary Incentive Program, under which a county superintendent of
schools, or the county board of education, may increase the salary for
certain teachers on its adopted certificated employee salary schedule,
as specified. The provisions establishing the program require certain
calculations to be made with respect to the average daily attendance
(ADA) of the participating local educational agencies, and more
specifically require specified adjustments to be made in the calculation

98
AB 94 —8—

of ADA attributable to regional occupational centers and programs for


the 2008–09 to the 2012–13 fiscal years, inclusive.
This bill would extend the requirement for these adjustments to be
made to the 2013–14 and 2014–15 fiscal years.
(24)  Existing law, commencing with the 2009–10 school year and
continuing through the 2012–13 school year, authorizes a school
district, county office of education, or charter school to reduce the
equivalent of up to 5 days of instruction or the equivalent number of
instructional minutes without incurring fiscal penalties.
This bill would extend the operation of this provision for 2 additional
fiscal years, thus extending it through the 2014–15 school year.
(25)  Existing law establishes the Class Size Reduction Program,
under which a participating school district or county office of education
reduces class size to 20 pupils per class in kindergarten and grades 1
to 3, inclusive. Existing law provides that, for the 2008–09, 2009–10,
2010–11, and 2011–12 fiscal years, a school district that has received
funding under the program but has not implemented its class size
reduction program for all classes and grades for which it received
funding under the program, an amount is deducted from the next
principal apportionment of state funds to that district in accordance
with a schedule.
This bill would extend the operation of this provision to the 2012–13
and 2013–14 fiscal years.
(26)  Existing law prohibits the State Board of Education from
adopting instructional materials until the 2013–14 school year.
This bill would extend this prohibition through the 2015–16 school
year.
(27)  Existing law, for the 2008–09 to the 2012–13 fiscal years,
inclusive, provides that the governing board of a school district is not
required to provide pupils with instructional materials by a specified
period of time following adoption of those materials by the State Board
of Education.
This bill would extend the operation of this provision by 2 fiscal years,
through the 2014–15 fiscal year.
(28)  Under existing law, a community college or community college
district may not permit any person to access student records without
the written consent of the student or under judicial order for access,
with specified exceptions generally relating to education. Existing law
provides that a person, persons, agency, or organization that is

98
—9— AB 94

permitted access to student records is prohibited from further disclosing


the records without the written consent of the student, as specified.
This bill would allow a person, persons, agency, or organization that
is permitted access to student records to disclose them pursuant to the
extent permitted under specified federal law and state law.
(29)  Existing law, the Ortiz-Pacheco-Poochigian-Vasconcellos Cal
Grant Program (Cal Grant Program), establishes the Cal Grant A and
B Entitlement Awards, the California Community College Transfer Cal
Grant Entitlement Awards, the Competitive Cal Grant A and B Awards,
the Cal Grant C Awards, and the Cal Grant T Awards under the
administration of the Student Aid Commission, and establishes eligibility
requirements for awards under these programs for participating students
attending qualifying institutions.
Existing law sets forth the maximum household income and asset
levels for participants in the various grant programs under the act.
These maximum levels are set forth as they were adopted by the
commission for the 2001–02 academic year, but have been annually
adjusted based on the percentage change in the cost of living as defined
in a specified provision of the California Constitution.
This bill would provide that the maximum household income and
asset levels applicable to a renewing applicant would be the greater of
the adjusted household income and asset levels or the maximum
household income and asset levels at the time of the renewing recipient’s
initial Cal Grant award, as specified.
This bill would impose additional requirements, except as specified,
on qualifying institutions, requiring the commission to certify by October
1 of each year the institution’s latest 3-year cohort default rate as most
recently reported by the United States Department of Education. The
bill would provide that an otherwise qualifying institution that did not
meet a specified 3-year cohort default rate would be ineligible for new
Cal Grant awards at the institution.
This bill would require the Legislative Analyst’s Office to submit a
report to the Legislature by January 1, 2013, on the implementation of
the 3-year cohort default rate provisions of the act, as specified.
The bill would specify that financial need, for the purposes of the act,
would be determined to establish both an applicant’s initial eligibility
for a Cal Grant award and a renewing applicant’s continued eligibility
using federal financial need methodology, as prescribed.
The bill would also require participating institutions, beginning in
2012, to annually report to the commission enrollment, persistence,

98
AB 94 — 10 —

and graduation data, as well as job placement, salary, and wage


information for undergraduate programs, as specified.
(30)  Existing law establishes community college districts under the
administration of community college governing boards, and authorizes
these districts to provide instruction at community college campuses
throughout the state. Existing law requires the governing board of each
community college district to charge each student, with specified
exceptions, a fee of $26 per unit per semester, effective with the fall
term of the 2009–10 academic year.
This bill would increase that fee to $36 per unit per semester, effective
with the fall term of the 2011–12 academic year.
(31)  Existing law, for the 2009–10 to 2012–13 fiscal years, inclusive,
authorizes a community college district to use funds apportioned to the
district for specified categorical programs, for purposes of a prescribed
list of programs.
This bill would extend the operation of this provision for 2 additional
fiscal years, through the 2014–15 fiscal year.
(32)  Existing law requires the Board of Governors of the California
Community Colleges to adopt regulations for the payment of
apportionments to community college districts. Existing law,
notwithstanding the board of governors’ authority in this respect, makes
various adjustments to the payment of these apportionments.
This bill would revise the manner in which these apportionments are
made according to specified criteria. The bill would appropriate
$961,000,000 from the General Fund to the Board of Governors of the
California Community Colleges for apportionments to community
college districts for expenditure during the 2012–13 fiscal year in
accordance with a specified schedule.
(33)  Under existing law, the Controller is required to draw warrants
on the State Treasury in each month of each year in specified amounts
for purposes of funding school districts, county superintendents of
schools, and community college districts. Existing law defers the
drawing of those warrants, as specified.
This bill would, commencing with the 2011–12 fiscal year, authorize
the Controller to issue up to $13 million of warrants for a community
college district for the principal apportionments for the month of June,
that are instead to be drawn in July, subject to the approval of the
Director of Finance, as specified.
If the total amount requested by community college districts exceeds
$13 million, the Controller, the Treasurer, and the Director of Finance

98
— 11 — AB 94

may authorize additional payments, not to exceed $39 million. The


determination whether there is sufficient cash available to make these
payments would be made no later than May 1, as specified. In making
this determination, the Controller, the Treasurer, and the Director of
Finance would be required to consider costs for state government, the
scope of any identified cash shortage, timing, achievability, legislative
direction, and impact and hardship imposed on potential affected
programs, as specified. The Department of Finance would be required
to notify the Joint Legislative Budget Committee within 10 days of this
determination and identify the total amount of requests that will be
paid.
The bill would provide that if the total amount of cash made available
is less than the amount requested, as specified, payments to community
college districts must be prioritized according to the date the Office of
the Chancellor of the California Community Colleges and the
Department of Finance were notified. Payments would be required to
be made no later than June 20.
This bill would specify that warrants drawn pursuant to this
authorization shall be deemed to be General Fund revenues
appropriated to school districts, as specified.
(34)  The Budget Act of 2010 made numerous appropriations for the
support of public education in this state.
This bill would make adjustments in the schedules of 3 items of the
Budget Act of 2010 with respect to the funding of specified programs.
(35)  The Administrative Procedure Act, among other things, sets
forth procedures for the development, adoption, and promulgation of
regulations by administrative agencies charged with the implementation
of statutes.
This bill would authorize the State Department of Social Services and
the State Department of Education, notwithstanding the procedures
required by the Administrative Procedure Act, to implement the
provisions of the bill that relate to the Child Care and Development
Services Act through all-county letters, management bulletins, or similar
instructions.
(36)  The bill would provide that the implementation of the provisions
of the bill related to the provision of child care services would not be
subject to the appeal and resolution procedures for agencies that
contract with the State Department of Education for these purposes.
(37)  This bill would reappropriate up to $60,000,000 in unobligated
balances appropriated in the Budget Act of 2009 to the State Department

98
AB 94 — 12 —

of Education for CalWORKs Stage 3 child care services for the period
of April 1, 2011, to June 30, 2011, inclusive. The bill would also require
the State Department of Education to use those funds for eligible families
pursuant to a specified provision as it read on January 1, 2011.
(38)  This bill would appropriate $905,700,000 from the General
Fund to the State Department of Education for 10 specified programs
according to a specified schedule, and would require the department
to encumber these funds by July 31, 2012. The bill would provide that,
for purposes of satisfying the minimum annual funding obligation for
school districts required by the California Constitution, the appropriated
funds are General Fund revenues appropriated for school districts and
community college districts for the 2012–13 fiscal year.
(39)  Existing law creates the Charter School Revolving Loan Fund
in the State Treasury and authorizes the Superintendent of Public
Instruction to make loans from the fund to applicant charter schools in
accordance with specified criteria.
This bill would appropriate $5,000,000 from the General Fund to
augment the Charter School Revolving Loan Fund.
(40)  This bill would set the cost-of-living adjustment for specified
items in the Budget Act of 2011 at 0% for the 2011–12 fiscal year,
notwithstanding the cost-of-living adjustment specified in existing
statutes.
(41)  This bill would require funds appropriated pursuant to specified
items in the Budget Act of 2011 to be encumbered by July 31, 2012.
(42)  Existing law provides for collection and maintenance of
educational data. Existing law requires the State Department of
Education to contract for the development of the California Longitudinal
Pupil Achievement Data System (CALPADS), for the purpose of
providing for the retention and analysis of longitudinal pupil
achievement data on specified achievement tests.
This bill would appropriate $2,257,000 from the Federal Trust Fund
to the State Department of Education, in accordance with a specified
schedule, for purposes of the implementation and support of the
CALPADS.
The bill would require, as a condition of receiving funds to administer
CALPADS, the State Department of Education to ensure that local
educational agencies are provided with standardized templates that
include prepopulated data necessary to meet the requirements of the
School Accountability Report Card.

98
— 13 — AB 94

(43)  Under existing law, the amount of revenue that a district may


collect annually for general purposes, called a revenue limit, is
calculated in accordance with various statutory formulas. A basic aid
school district is a school district where property tax revenues exceed
the revenue limit and the district consequently does not receive a state
apportionment.
This bill would express legislative intent that basic aid school districts
assume categorical funding reductions proportionate to the revenue
limit reductions implemented for nonbasic aid school districts in the
2008–09 and 2009–10 fiscal years. The bill would include calculations
to implement these funding reductions.
(44)  Existing law appropriates funding for class size reduction in
kindergarten and grades 1 to 3, inclusive, to be expended consistent
with the specified requirements.
This bill would reduce that appropriation in accordance with specified
requirements, and would identify funds that the State Department of
Education would be required to use if the funds appropriated for this
program are determined to be insufficient.
The bill would require the Superintendent of Public Instruction to
certify to the Controller the amounts needed for the 2011–12 fiscal year
to fund the class size reduction program and set forth a schedule for
the transfer of that funding. The bill would require the Controller to
transfer that funding from the General Fund to the State School Fund,
thereby making an appropriation.
The bill would require the Superintendent, before making each
certification, to notify the Department of Finance, the Legislative
Analyst, and the appropriate policy and fiscal committees of the
Legislature regarding the amounts the Superintendent intends to certify
and would require the notification to include the data used in
determining the amounts to be certified.
(45)  Existing law establishes the University of California, which is
administered by the Regents of the University of California and the
California State University, which is administered by the Trustees of
the California State University.
This bill would require the Regents of the University of California
and the Trustees of the California State University, in implementing
reductions contained in the Budget Act of 2011, to minimize fee and
enrollment impacts on students by targeting actions that lower the costs
of instruction and administration. The bill would require the regents
and the trustees to submit recommended budget options, with savings

estimates for each identified solution, to the Legislature, the Governor,


and stakeholders for review and comment by June 1, 2011, prior to
adoption of a final plan. The bill would state enrollment goals for the
2011–12 academic year and require the regents and the trustees to
report to the Legislature by May 1, 2012, on whether the University of
California and the California State University have met their respective
2011–12 enrollment goals. If the goals are not met, the Director of
Finance would be directed to revert the total amount of enrollment
funding associated with the total share of the enrollment goal that was
not met to the General Fund by May 15, 2012. This bill would require
the regents and the trustees to submit a final detailed report to the
Governor, the Department of Finance, and the Legislature, as specified,
by September 1, 2012.
(46)  This bill would make conforming changes, correct some
cross-references, and make other technical, nonsubstantive changes.
(47)  The funds appropriated by this bill would be applied toward
the minimum funding requirements for school districts and community
college districts imposed by Section 8 of Article XVI of the California
Constitution.
(48)  The California Constitution authorizes the Governor to declare
a fiscal emergency and to call the Legislature into special session for
that purpose. Governor Schwarzenegger issued a proclamation
declaring a fiscal emergency, and calling a special session for this
purpose, on December 6, 2010. Governor Brown issued a proclamation
on January 20, 2011, declaring and reaffirming that a fiscal emergency
exists and stating that his proclamation supersedes the earlier
proclamation for purposes of that constitutional provision.
This bill would state that it addresses the fiscal emergency declared
and reaffirmed by the Governor by proclamation issued on January
20, 2011, pursuant to the California Constitution.
(49)  This bill would declare that it is to take immediate effect as an
urgency statute and a bill providing for appropriations related to the
Budget Bill.
This bill would express the intent of the Legislature to enact statutory
changes relating to the Budget Act of 2011.
Vote: majority 2⁄3. Appropriation: no yes. Fiscal committee: no

5 SEC. 9. Section 8354 of the Education Code is amended to
6 read:
7 8354. (a)  The third stage of child care begins when a funded
8 space is available. CalWORKs recipients are eligible for the third
9 stage of child care. Persons who received a lump-sum diversion
10 payment or diversion services and former CalWORKs participants
11 are eligible if they have an income that does not exceed 75 70
12 percent of the state median income pursuant to Section 8263.1.
13 The third stage shall be administered by programs contracting with
14 the State Department of Education. Parents’ eligibility for child
15 care and development services will be governed by Section 8263
16 and regulations adopted by the State Department of Education.
17 (b)  In order to move welfare recipients and former recipients
18 from their relationship with county welfare departments to
19 relationships with institutions providing services to working
20 families, it is the intent of the Legislature that families that are
21 former recipients of aid, or are transitioning off aid, receive their
22 child care assistance in the same fashion as other low-income
23 working families. Therefore, it is the intent of the Legislature that
24 families no longer rely on county welfare departments to obtain
25 child care subsidies beyond the time they are receiving other
26 services from the welfare department.
27 (c)  A county welfare department shall not administer the third
28 stage of child care for CalWORKs recipients except to the extent
29 to which it delivered those services to families receiving, or within
30 one year of having received, Aid to Families with Dependent
31 Children prior to the enactment of this section.
32 (d)  This article does not preclude county welfare departments
33 from operating an alternative payment program under contract
34 with the State Department of Education to serve families referred
35 by child protective services.
36 SEC. 10. Section 8357 of the Education Code is amended to

98
— 31 — AB 94

1 to choose the child care services of licensed child care providers


2 or child care providers who are, by law, not required to be licensed,
3 and the cost of that child care shall be reimbursed by counties or
4 agencies that contract with the State Department of Education if
5 the cost is within the regional market rate. For purposes of this
6 section, “regional market rate” means care costing no more than
7 1.5 market standard deviations above the mean cost of care for
8 that region. The regional market rate ceilings shall be established
9 at the 85th percentile of the 2005 regional market rate survey for
10 that region.
11 (b)  Reimbursement to license-exempt child care providers shall
12 not exceed 80 60 percent of the family child care home rate
13 established pursuant to subdivision (a), effective July 1, 2011.
14 (c)  Reimbursement to child care providers shall not exceed the
15 fee charged to private clients for the same service.
16 (d)  Reimbursement shall not be made for child care services
17 when care is provided by parents, legal guardians, or members of
18 the assistance unit.
19 (e)  A child care provider located on an Indian reservation or
20 rancheria and exempted from state licensing requirements shall
21 meet applicable tribal standards.
22 (f)  For purposes of this section, “reimbursement” means a direct
23 payment to the provider of child care services, including
24 license-exempt providers. If care is provided in the home of the
25 recipient, payment may be made to the parent as the employer,
26 and the parent shall be informed of his or her concomitant legal
27 and financial reporting requirements. To allow time for the
28 development of the administrative systems necessary to issue direct
29 payments to providers, for a period not to exceed six months from
30 the effective date of this article, a county or an alternative payment
31 agency contracting with the State Department of Education may
32 reimburse the cost of child care services through a direct payment
33 to a recipient of aid rather than to the child care provider.
34 (g)  Counties and alternative payment programs shall not be
35 bound by the rate limits described in subdivision (a) when there
36 are, in the region, no more than two child care providers of the
37 type needed by the recipient of child care services provided under
38 this article.

6 on a regularly scheduled day off, that exceeds the certified need
7 for child care.
8 (2)  A family has a documented need of six hours or more per
9 day that exceeds no more than 14 days per month. In no event shall
10 reimbursements to a provider based on the daily rate over one

20 child care and development program contracts with public and
21 private agencies by the timely approval of contract provisions by
22 the Department of Finance, the Department of General Services,
23 and the State Department of Education and by authorizing the State
24 Department of Education to establish a multiyear application,
25 contract expenditure, and service review as may be necessary to

9 schedules by family size, based on the 2005 state median income
10 survey data for a family of four. The family fee schedule used
11 during the 2005–06 fiscal year shall remain in effect. However,
12 the department shall adjust the family fee schedule for families
13 that are newly eligible to receive or will continue to receive services
14 under the new income eligibility limits. The family fees shall not
15 exceed 10 percent of the family’s monthly income.
16 (4)  Notwithstanding any other law, the family fee schedule that
17 was in effect for the 2007–08, 2008–09, 2009–10, and 2010–11
18 fiscal years shall be adjusted to reflect the income eligibility limits
19 specified in subdivision (b) of Section 8263.1 for the 2011–12 fiscal
20 year, and shall retain a flat fee per family. The revised family fee
21 schedule shall begin at income levels at which families currently
22 begin paying fees, and shall reflect an increase of 10 percent to
23 existing fees. The revised family fees shall not exceed 10 percent
24 of the family’s monthly income. The State Department of Education
25 shall first submit the adjusted fee schedule to the Department of
26 Finance for approval in order to be implemented by July 1, 2011.

28 (5)  It is the intent of the Legislature to fully fund the third stage
29 of child care for former CalWORKs recipients.
30 (c)  With respect to subdivision (b), it is the intent of the
31 Legislature that the Department of Finance annually review
32 contract funding terms and conditions for the primary purpose of
33 ensuring consistency between child care contracts and the child
34 care budget. This review, shall include evaluating any proposed
35 changes to contract language or other fiscal documents to which
36 the contractor is required to adhere, including those changes to
37 terms or conditions that authorize higher reimbursement rates, that
38 modify related adjustment factors, that modify administrative or
39 other service allowances, or that diminish fee revenues otherwise

20 changes to the regional market rate schedules and fee schedules
21 may be made at any other time to reflect the availability of accurate
22 data necessary for their completion, provided these documents
23 receive the approval of the Department of Finance. The Department
24 of Finance shall review the changes within 30 working days of
25 submission and the State Department of Education shall resolve
26 conflicts within an additional 30 working day period. Contractors
27 shall be given adequate notice prior to the effective date of the

14 thirty-two thousand dollars ($32,000). If this salary change results
15 in costs to the county office of education that are equal to or greater
16 than the incentive received pursuant to subdivision (c), the
17 minimum salary shall be thirty-two thousand dollars ($32,000). If

29 (3)  The newly adopted salary schedule shall contain only one
30 cell that meets the amount set forth in paragraph (1), which most
31 often is the first-year step of a salary schedule column for
32 certificated personnel who meet the criteria set forth in subdivision

34 in paragraph (1) for personnel that meet the criteria in subdivision
35 (a).

6 for each county office of education that meets the requirements of
7 subdivision (b), the Superintendent shall add the sum of paragraphs
8 (1) and (2) to the county office of education revenue limit
9 computed pursuant to Section 2550.
10 (1)  Annually increase the statewide average funding rate per
11 unit of average daily attendance calculated pursuant to subdivision

24 education’s second period average daily attendance for the prior
25 fiscal year in regional occupational centers or programs excluding
26 attendance in charter schools participating in the charter school
27 block grant pursuant to Article 2 (commencing with Section 47633)
28 of Chapter 6 of Part 26.8 of Division 4.
29 (3)  For purposes of the calculation required by paragraph (2),
30 in the 2008–09, 2009–10, 2010–11, 2011–12, and 2012–13,
