CA AB1964

Establishes separate regulatory framework for organized day camps in California Health and Safety Code Chapter 2, distinct from organized overnight/resident camps in Chapter 1.

Requires organized day camps to either be accredited by the American Camp Association or submit written operating procedures describing programs, staff qualifications, safety procedures, and emergency plans to local enforcement agencies.

Mandates organized day camps maintain health histories for all campers and staff, obtain health and sanitation permits from local enforcement agencies, and comply with health and sanitation standards.

Classifies day camps into Tier 1 (multiple programs, high-risk activities, or food service) and Tier 2 (single-focus programs without high-risk activities or food service), with Tier 1 camps requiring initial premises inspection before permit issuance.

Authorizes local enforcement agencies to inspect camps, charge reasonable oversight fees, investigate complaints, and issue citations for violations; requires State Public Health Officer to adopt regulations establishing minimum health and safety standards for day camps.
