Amid the ongoing child care crisis, two new bills in the California Legislature would raise pay for child care providers and lower family fees for subsidized care. Sen. Monique Limón, D-Santa Barbara, and Assembly Majority Leader Eloise Gómez Reyes, D-Colton, have introduced legislation, Senate Bill 380 and Assembly Bill 596, that would raise provider pay as well as lower family costs. SB 380 passed out of the Senate Education Committee this week while AB 596 passed out of the Assembly Education Committee.
