Establishes long-term services and supports workforce engagement and sustainability program in DOH.

New Jersey Assembly Bill A4584 establishes a state program within the Department of Health to address staffing shortages in long-term care services (LTSS). The bill requires the Department to implement specific actions including reviewing Medicaid payment policies affecting worker pay, identifying federal pandemic funds for bonuses, creating standardized training, expanding certification options, developing career advancement paths for direct care workers, and launching recruitment campaigns. It directly affects LTSS workers (such as nursing aides and home health staff) and their employers across both nursing homes and community-based settings. The program mandates annual reports to the Governor and Legislature on progress toward increasing the LTSS workforce supply. The bill takes effect immediately upon enactment.
