California SB120 amends early childhood education and childcare reimbursement rates.

California SB120 amends early childhood education and childcare reimbursement rates, setting them at the 85th percentile of the most recent regional market rate survey. It also allocates funds for a monthly cost of care plus rate for children enrolled in subsidized childcare. The bill prioritizes admission for children in need of protective services or those at risk of abuse or neglect. It suspends the annual cost-of-living adjustment for certain fiscal years and requires quarterly updates on the implementation of new reimbursement rates.
