Amends the Child Care Act of 1969. Provides that a licensed day care center shall not disclose or threaten to disclose to any other person, entity, or agency information regarding or relating to the actual or perceived citizenship or immigration status of a child or an associated person, unless disclosure is required by State or federal law. Requires the Department of Children and Family Services or the Department of Early Childhood, as is applicable, to make available on its website specified resources for families. Provides that, if a child's parent or guardian directly faces immigration enforcement action, a licensed day care center shall use the child's emergency contact information and release the child to the persons designated as the child's emergency contacts or into the custody of an individual who presents a properly executed appointment of short-term guardian form on behalf of the child. Sets forth provisions requiring a licensed day care center to adopt certain policies concerning consent to disclosure. Provides that the policies shall not have the effect of excluding or discouraging a child from any program at the licensed day care center because of the actual or perceived immigration status of the child or the child's parent or guardian. Establishes enforcement provisions for violations of disclosure provisions. Effective immediately.
