A 3001 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Provides for oversight of DHS contracts with providers serving persons with developmental disabilities.

This bill requires New Jersey's Department of Human Services (DHS) to implement oversight for contracts with providers serving individuals with developmental disabilities. It mandates quarterly expenditure reports from providers (detailing costs like personnel and supplies), caps general/administrative expenses at 10% of contract funds, and requires unannounced provider visits to assess whether services help clients meet individualized habilitation plan goals. DHS must also conduct annual surveys with employees, service providers, and families to gather feedback on service quality before renewing contracts. Contracts may face penalties - including non-renewal - if providers fail to submit reports, exceed the 10% cost cap, or fail to demonstrate effective service delivery.
