In the spirit of partnership and sharing, we will be supporting the field with legislative and advocacy information, background fact sheets and letter templates to communicate positions and/or to sign on as part of a broader coalition. Assembly Bills (AB) and Senate Bills (SB) that are being tracked are noted below. The bill link will take you to the page noting the most recent version of the bill along with bill history and bill analyses when available. As fact sheets and sample templates become available, they too will be hosted. Please email us if you would like to have a bill hosted here.

It is important that we as a field, are united and strong in our "asks". To that end, below are two considerations that we hope to see in all advocacy platforms that are put forth:
The CAPPA Public Policy Committee and CAPPA staff review each piece of legislation and decide whether or not part or the entire bill could have an effect on subsidized child care, Alternative Payment Programs, low-income families, child care centers, CalWORKs, non-profits, business issues such as independent contractor issues, licensing, children, etc. If a bill is identified with an impact, the CAPPA board and public policy committee are asked to review the bill. Once reviewed and based on the 2019 approved policy principles a decision will be made for CAPPA to either support, oppose or remain neutral on a bill. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Keep up-to-date on the bills that are important to our field with CAPPA's all new extensive bill tracking system. This database is updated daily. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Legislative Resources:
