Creates emergency closure prevention fund for child care programs at risk of closure; appropriates $10 million.

This bill establishes a $10 million emergency fund to help licensed and registered child care programs in New Jersey avoid closure due to significant drops in enrollment. To qualify for assistance, a program must demonstrate a decrease of at least 30 percent in student numbers compared to the previous year. The State Treasurer manages the fund and distributes grants on a rolling basis, with no single provider receiving more than $60,000 annually. The bill also allows the fund to accept additional federal money and requires the Commissioner of Human Services to create an application process for eligible providers.
