CHAPTER 13 - Allocations and Expenditures
Section 10301.5.

10301.5. (a) The Legislature recognizes the shortage of child care and development and preschool facilities which meet state and local health and safety standards, and the lack of other sources of funding for renovations and repairs necessary to upgrade facilities for licensing in order to accommodate major child care and preschool expansion. It is, therefore, the intent of the Legislature that funds be appropriated for the purpose of providing revolving loans with no interest, as provided in Section 10303, to all other types of child care and development and preschool facilities, in order to provide sufficient child care and development and preschool facilities meeting licensing standards to accommodate the level of child care and preschool expansion provided in this chapter.

(b) It is further the intent of the Legislature that funds be appropriated for the state purchase of relocatable child care and development and preschool facilities as provided in Section 10307, for lease to qualifying contracting agencies in geographic areas with no available child care and development or preschool facilities.
