Requires mandatory registration of family day care providers.

This bill requires New Jersey family day care providers (those operating homes for 3-5 children at a time) to register with state-approved organizations, changing the system from voluntary to mandatory. Providers must pay a $25 registration fee and undergo annual monitoring by sponsoring organizations, which will also provide training and maintain records accessible to parents. The Department of Children and Families must issue an annual report tracking registered homes, children served, and parent inquiries, with summaries publicly available online. These changes aim to standardize safety oversight while replacing the previous voluntary system.
