AI Summary

This bill requires licensed child care centers, which are facilities regulated under a specific New Jersey law (P.L.1983, c.492, also known as C.30:5B-1 et seq.), to provide parents or legal guardians with a 60-day advance notice before any changes are made to tuition rates. This notice must be delivered through certified mail with return receipt requested, first-class mail with proof of receipt, or in person by a staff member, and it must also be posted on the center's website or through other electronic means, as well as displayed prominently within the center itself. These new notification requirements will become effective for any tuition rate changes that occur starting on the first day of the third month after the bill is officially enacted into law.
