It goes on in very vague terminology. I guess they'll have to pass it to know what it means.
THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1.
(a) The Legislature finds and declares that all children and youth, regardless of gender, class, race, ethnicity, national origin, culture, religion, immigration status, sexual orientation, or ability, have inherent rights that entitle them to protection, special care, and assistance, including, but not limited to, the following:
(1) The right to parents, guardians, or caregivers who act in their best interest.
(2) The right to form healthy attachments with adults responsible for their care and well-being.
(3) The right to live in a safe and healthy environment.
(4) The right to social and emotional well-being.
(5) The right to opportunities to attain optimal cognitive, physical, and social development.
(6) The right to appropriate, quality education and life skills leading to self-sufficiency in adulthood.
(7) The right to appropriate, quality health care.

What exactly is “special care” and why are children entitled to it? Do their parents not already provide this “special care,” owing to the fact that they are immature and may not know what is in their own best interests?
What is their “best interest,” and who gets to decide? What if the state’s definition of “best interest” is not the same as the parents’ definition? Do they get different caregivers, until or unless the parents comply with the state’s standards?
etc...
