This bill establishes a prohibition against child care providers charging parents fees for services on days when they are unable to provide care due to contraction of, or exposure to, COVID-19. It defines a "child care provider" as either a facility licensed under P.L.1983, c.492 or a family day care provider registered under P.L.1987, c.27.

Additionally, the bill mandates that any child care provider who previously charged fees during such circumstances must reimburse parents for those fees. This reimbursement requirement is retroactive to December 1, 2021, ensuring that parents are compensated for any fees incurred during that time when services were not rendered due to COVID-19-related issues. The act is set to take effect immediately upon passage.
