New Jersey A3801 makes permanent the requirement for subsidy payments to licensed child care providers to be based on enrollment of eligible children.

New Jersey A3801 permanently requires subsidy payments for child care services to be based on the number of children enrolled, rather than attendance. This applies to both licensed child care centers and registered family day care providers. The Department of Human Services must ensure compliance with staff-to-child ratios based on enrollment. The bill mandates that the Department of Human Services adopt necessary rules and regulations to implement these provisions. This act takes effect on July 1, 2022 or immediately upon enactment, whichever occurs later.
