Summary

SB 1051 updates California’s welfare code to require child‑care resource and referral programs to keep up‑to‑date listings of services, document referrals, and provide technical help to providers. It also creates a dedicated childcare navigator to help children in foster care and their families access the Emergency Child Care Bridge Program. The changes aim to improve stability for foster children by making child‑care information and subsidies more accessible.
