A 4156 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Requires clinic connected with dental school at public institution of higher education to give priority to 100 percent disabled veterans.

This bill requires dental clinics affiliated with public university dental schools (like Rutgers) to give priority scheduling to 100% disabled veterans seeking oral health services. Specifically, clinics must schedule appointments for these veterans within 30 days of request. The law defines "100% disabled veterans" as those honorably discharged and certified as permanently 100% disabled by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs. It applies directly to veterans needing dental care and the public dental clinics operating at New Jersey's public universities.
