CA SB1099

Amends the foster care state plan to authorize counties to use federal matching funds under Title IV-E to subsidize child care for foster parents.

Allows counties to match federal funds using county funds, state child care and development funds administered by the State Department of Education, or a combination of both.

Requires counties using state child development funds to contract with local State Department of Education child care agencies and claim full costs for federally eligible Title IV-E children at regional rates.

Mandates counties consult with the State Department of Education to ensure contractors are in good standing, federal funds enhance existing programs, and services are not double-charged.

Makes state child care and development funds available as nonfederal match for Title IV-E child care serving children receiving protective services, foster children, and children at risk of abuse and neglect.
