Increases maximum age for pediatric long-term care facility residents to 26.
This bill raises the maximum age for residents in New Jersey's pediatric long-term care facilities from 19 to 26 years old. It directly affects young adults aged 19-26 who previously could not access pediatric long-term care services as they aged out of the system. The key provision amends existing law to allow these facilities to admit and provide services to residents up to age 26, effective immediately. The Commissioner of Health must create implementing rules within the Administrative Procedure Act framework.
