Requires children's psychiatric facilities to have on-site staff members supervise patients 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

This bill mandates that children's psychiatric facilities in New Jersey provide 24-hour, seven-day-a-week on-site staff supervision for all patients. It directly affects facilities including crisis intervention centers, residential treatment programs, and psychiatric community homes (as defined by state regulations). The key provision requires facility directors to designate staff for continuous, on-site supervision, aligning these facilities with existing staffing standards for children's group homes and juvenile detention centers. The law takes immediate effect upon passage and will be implemented through new regulations by the Department of Children and Families.
