This bill mandates that licensed child care centers in New Jersey must prepare and distribute an annual notice detailing their emergency procedure requirements. These procedures are aimed at ensuring the safety of children during various emergencies, including evacuations, lockdowns, and natural or civil disasters. The notice must be sent to every parent or legal guardian of a child attending the center, either by certified mail or receipted first-class mail to the last known address on record. Additionally, the notice must be made accessible on the center's website or through other electronic means.

The legislation emphasizes the importance of communication regarding emergency protocols to enhance the safety of children in care. By requiring annual notifications and ensuring that they are readily available online, the bill seeks to keep parents informed and prepared for potential emergencies affecting their children at the center. The act is set to take effect immediately upon passage.
