The commissioner shall establish a process by which school districts are reimbursed for costs, within the limits of available appropriations and the applicable maximum per service aid amounts established pursuant to section 9 of P.L.1977, c.192 (C.18A:46A-9), that are incurred to provide services for eligible nonpublic school students pursuant to P.L.1977, c.192 (C.18A:46A-1 et seq.). The process to be established by the commissioner shall permit school districts to apply for reimbursement payments on a quarterly basis in a manner to be determined by the commissioner. School districts seeking reimbursement for services pursuant to this section shall submit applications for reimbursement on a quarterly basis and adhere to all submission guidelines, accounting and budgeting guidance, documentation requirements, and defined timelines for reimbursement as determined by the commissioner. b. No later than July 15 of each school year, the commissioner shall notify school districts and nonpublic schools of the details concerning the reimbursement process established pursuant to subsection a. of this section, which details shall include submission guidelines, accounting and budgeting guidance, documentation requirements, and defined timelines for reimbursement.
