Prohibits institution of higher education that provides child care from charging student-parent who receives child care voucher under "New Jersey Cares for Kids Program" an amount for child care in excess of voucher amount.
This bill prohibits New Jersey colleges and universities that provide child care services to students and accept vouchers from the New Jersey Cares for Kids (NJCK) Program from charging student-parents more than the voucher amount. It directly affects student-parents enrolled at participating institutions who receive a NJCK voucher for child care. The key provision requires institutions to cover the full cost of child care using the voucher, so student-parents do not pay any additional fees beyond the voucher value. The bill takes effect immediately upon enactment.
