Requires State provider subsidy payments for child care services to be based on enrollment.

This bill requires New Jersey state subsidy payments for child care services to be calculated based on the number of children enrolled with a provider rather than the number actually attending on any given day. Licensed child care centers and registered family day care providers would receive funding based on enrollment counts recorded on October 15 and April 15 of each year. The change aims to provide more predictable income for providers by decoupling payments from daily attendance fluctuations. The Department of Human Services would implement these rules and seek necessary federal approvals to maintain funding eligibility.
