Resource and referral agencies.

Summary

The bill would amend the Welfare and Institutions Code so that local childcare resource and referral agencies must implement disaster‑plan responsibilities, help providers prepare for emergencies, and submit monthly data on provider status, capacity and vacancies. It also directs the state Child Care Resource and Referral Network to follow the same disaster roles and sets reporting requirements for federal COVID‑19 relief funds. The changes would take effect only if the Legislature appropriates the necessary funding.
