A 1003 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Requires assisted living residences and certain facilities under DCA, DCF, and DHS to be equipped with standby emergency power generators.

This bill requires specific residential facilities in New Jersey to install backup power generators to maintain operations during power outages. It directly affects assisted living residences (licensed by the Department of Health), boarding homes/residential health care facilities (licensed by the Department of Community Affairs), and facilities sponsored by the Departments of Children's Services (for children under 21 with disabilities) or Human Services (for adults with mental illness or developmental disabilities). New facilities must have generators upon opening, while existing facilities must install them within 90 days of the law's effective date. All generators must be regularly tested and maintained per engineering standards set by the relevant departments.
