Bill	Child care services.	(1) The Child Care and Development Services Act has a purpose of providing a comprehensive, coordinated, and cost-effective system of child care and development services, for children from infancy to 13 years of age and their parents, including a full range of supervision, health, and support service through full- and part-time programs. The act requires the Superintendent of Public Instruction to adopt rules and regulations on eligibility, enrollment, and priority of services needed to implement the act. The act provides that a family, upon establishing initial eligibility or ongoing eligibility for services, shall receive those services for not less than 12 months. The act provides, as an exception to the above provision relating to receiving services for 12 months, that a family that establishes initial eligibility or ongoing eligibility on the basis of seeking employment shall receive services for not less than 6 months. The act, for purposes of establishing income eligibility for services, defines "income eligible" to mean a family has an adjusted monthly income at or below 70% the state median income, as provided.	us/states/ca	California Legislature	20172018	AB 2626	California AB 2626 (20172018)	bill	Child care services.	enacted	Mullin	8	32	10	2018-02-15	2018-09-30	openstates	ocd-bill/b14f5c49-6606-431d-b163-fdc25e218fc3	http://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billNavClient.xhtml?bill_id=201720180AB2626	55d1bbe544d0eb94f595efbe9edbf8a4d4387562937df145dde9d76608322e98	2026-07-01	https://data.openstates.org/daily/2026-07-01/public.pgdump	2026-07-06	reported	legislation bill us-ca
