Extends duration of law requiring certain provider subsidy payments for child care services be based on enrollment.

This bill extends the requirement that New Jersey child care subsidy payments for licensed centers and registered family day care providers be based on the number of enrolled eligible children (not attendance) through June 30, 2025. It directly affects child care providers who receive state subsidies, requiring them to calculate staff wages and hours based on enrollment numbers rather than attendance. The law also mandates that the Division of Family Development study the cost differences between enrollment-based and attendance-based payments and report findings to the Governor and Legislature within three years. This extension provides stability for providers while ensuring subsidy calculations align with enrollment data.
