2.22.12 Today Assembly Member Luis Alejo (D-Salinas) introduced CFPA’s 2012 legislative proposal, Improving Child Care Nutrition: Healthy Eating Starts Early. AB 1872 aims to close the nutrition standard gap in child care by requiring, as a condition of licensure, family day care home providers to comply with the Child and Adult Care (CACFP) meal pattern. In addition, AB 1872 requires licensing authorities to inform all child care providers about how to participate in CACFP, which provides reimbursements to help cover the cost of meals and snacks.
