Establishes child care costs reimbursement grant program in DCF; appropriates $500,000.

This bill creates a temporary child care reimbursement program within New Jersey's Department of Children and Families (DCF), funded by $500,000 from federal CARES Act funds. It directly helps employed parents or guardians who need to enroll children in licensed child care due to school closures or remote learning caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. Eligible families can apply to DCF for reimbursement of child care tuition costs, with the commissioner setting selection criteria and distributing funds based on available funding. The program expires when the state's declared COVID-19 public health emergency ends.
