Requires licensed child care centers to provide annual notice of emergency procedure requirements.

This New Jersey bill (S 3257) requires licensed child care centers to provide an annual notice to every parent or legal guardian about the center's emergency procedures. The notice must cover safety protocols for evacuations, lockdowns, natural disasters, and other emergencies, and must be sent by certified mail (or receipted first-class mail) to the parent's last known address. Centers must also post the notice on their website or other electronic platforms. The bill applies to all child care centers licensed under New Jersey law and takes effect immediately upon enactment.
