AN ACT Relating to child day care; and creating a new section.

BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF WASHINGTON:

NEW SECTION. Sec. 1.     The state board for community college education and the higher education coordinating board shall each conduct a survey of institutionally-related child day care facilities that were available during the 1986-87 academic year to children of college or university students, staff, and faculty in their assigned institutions.  These surveys shall include, but not be limited to, an examination of:  The number of children served, the percentage of children from each segment of the institution's population, the size and location of the facility used, the fees charged, and the annual budget, including sources of funding, of the facility.

          If a state institution of higher education does not have a child day care facility on or near the campus for children of students, staff, and faculty, the appropriate board shall require that institution to conduct an assessment to determine the need for and interest in such facilities on or near that campus.  The assessments will be undertaken in consultation with students, faculty, and staff from each affected institution.

          The surveys and, if required, needs assessments, with recommendations for meeting identified needs, shall be completed and submitted to the appropriate policy committees of the legislature by December 1, 1987.
