Requires Division of Developmental Disabilities to reopen programs providing functional services to persons with developmental disabilities in same manner as schools.

This bill (A4414) requires New Jersey's Division of Developmental Disabilities to reopen all programs providing functional services to people with developmental disabilities that closed during the 2020 public health emergency. It directly affects individuals with developmental disabilities who lost access to these services and the state agency managing them. The bill mandates reopening under the same procedures used for schools, including adherence to health and safety standards from Executive Order No. 175 (2020). It applies immediately and does not alter existing health protocols for these programs.
