This bill mandates that all vehicles used to transport children to and from licensed child care centers, excluding private passenger vehicles, must be equipped with an alarm system. This system is designed to prompt the driver to check the vehicle for any children left unattended before exiting. The alarm systems must be approved by the Department of Children and Families, which will also establish rules and regulations regarding the minimum safety standards for these systems in consultation with the New Jersey Motor Vehicle Commission.

Additionally, the bill outlines that the Department of Children and Families is responsible for adopting the necessary regulations and approving alarm systems that comply with the established safety standards. The legislation is set to take effect on the first day of the sixth month following its enactment.
