A 3979 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Requires certain providers of substance or alcohol use disorder treatment, services, or supports to be assessed for conflicts of interest prior to receiving State funds, licensure, or certification.

This bill requires New Jersey state and local agencies that provide funding or issue licenses for substance or alcohol use disorder treatment to assess providers for conflicts of interest before distributing funds or granting licenses. Providers must submit financial statements, lists of board members and investors, and details about staff with outside jobs. If a conflict is found that could affect care, the provider must fix it to regain eligibility for state support. The assessment must occur at least once annually, ensuring decisions aren't unduly influenced by outside financial interests.
