Requires Division of Developmental Disabilities to develop guidelines for tiered group home placements and transfers.

New Jersey's A1575 requires the Division of Developmental Disabilities to create guidelines for placing individuals with developmental disabilities in two types of group homes: Level 1 (for those with minimal behavioral challenges) and Level 2 (for those needing more intensive care due to persistent risks of harm to self or others). The guidelines must determine placements based on clinical needs, behavior patterns, and safety risks, and specify criteria for transferring between levels, including requiring Level 2 homes to provide services supporting reintegration into less restrictive settings. Transfers to Level 1 must demonstrate 18 months of stable behavior, meeting specific goals, and having support systems in place, while Level 2 placements require documented need for higher-intensity care. These guidelines will directly affect group home residents, operators, and the Division of Developmental Disabilities.
