What AB 1528 does, verified December 7, 2025

The bill aims to amend childcare laws in California to provide more accurate reimbursement for childcare providers. It would add medical and educational appointments to the list of reasons for extended absences that are considered part of a child's attendance, allowing for more accurate reimbursement. The bill also authorizes a contractor to claim attendance for days when a family's care is temporarily held due to abandonment or appeal processes. Furthermore, the bill extends the exemption period for families who receive child protective services from 12 to 24 months, allowing them to avoid paying family fees for a longer period.
