Operative words

'3. Any "child care center", including those as defined in this executive order, that fails to timely certify shall be closed to the public as of Wednesday, April 1, 2020, and remain closed through the school closure period.' '1.... DCF shall: a. Create and publish emergency child care standards that an Emergency Child Care Center must follow... b. Create a certification form for current child care centers... to remain open or resume operations as an Emergency Child Care Center... [serving] essential persons.'

Enforcement

N.J.S.A. App. A:9-49, -50

Notes
