Eligibility for Child Care Facilities Revolving Fund
8278.3. (a) (1) The Child Care Facilities Revolving Fund is hereby established in the State Treasury to provide funding for the renovation, repair, or improvement of an existing building to make the building suitable for licensure for child care and development services and for the purchase of new relocatable child care facilities for lease to school districts and contracting agencies that provide child care and development services, pursuant to this chapter. The Superintendent of Public Instruction may transfer state funds appropriated for child care facilities into this fund for allocation to school districts and contracting agencies, as specified, for the purchase, transportation, and installation of facilities for replacement and expansion of capacity. School districts and contracting agencies using facilities made available by the use of these funds shall be charged a leasing fee, either at a fair market value for those facilities or at an amount sufficient to amortize the cost of purchase and relocation, whichever amount is lower, over a 10-year period. Upon full repayment of the purchase and relocation costs, title shall transfer from the State of California to the school district or contracting agency. The Superintendent of Public Instruction shall deposit all revenue derived from the lease payments into the Child Care Facilities Revolving Fund. (2) Notwithstanding Section 13340 of the Government Code, all moneys in the fund, including moneys deposited from lease payments, are continuously appropriated, without regard to fiscal years, to the Superintendent of Public Instruction for expenditure pursuant to this article. (b) On or before August 1 of each fiscal year, the Superintendent of Public Instruction shall submit to the Office of the Secretary for Education, the Department of Finance, and the Legislative Analyst's Office a report detailing the number of funding requests received and their purpose, the types of agencies that received funding from the Child Care Facilities Revolving Fund, the increased capacity that these facilities generated, a description of the manner in which the facilities are being used, and a projection of the lease payments collected and the funds available for future use. (c) A school district or county office of education that provides child care pursuant to the California School Age Families Education Program (Article 7.1 (commencing with Section 54740) of Chapter 9 of Part 29) is eligible to apply for and receive funding pursuant to this section.
