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

This bill requires New Jersey's child care subsidy payments to licensed providers and registered family day care centers to be based on the number of enrolled children (not actual attendance) on October 15 and April 15 each year. It directly affects child care providers serving low-income families who rely on state subsidies for funding. The key change ends current practice of basing payments on daily attendance, aiming to provide more stable income amid pandemic-related enrollment fluctuations. The bill also directs the state to seek necessary federal waivers to maintain funding eligibility for these programs.
