A 5637 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Establishes certain governance and service standards for developmental disability service providers; appropriates $300,000.

This bill establishes governance and financial standards for developmental disability service providers in New Jersey that bill over $250,000 annually in state-funded services. It requires these "covered provider agencies" to have independent boards of directors (with at least 5 members, majority independent), post audited financial statements online, and limit non-client spending to 15% of program revenue. The bill also mandates policies against conflicts of interest and retaliation, requires full-time site managers for larger facilities, and prohibits loans to staff or board members. The $300,000 appropriation funds additional staff to monitor compliance with these new requirements.
