S 2664 New Jersey Senate · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Establishes Division of Intellectual and Development Disabilities in DCF.

This bill creates a new Division of Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities within New Jersey's Department of Children and Families. It directly affects eligible individuals with intellectual or developmental disabilities (defined as conditions manifesting before age 22 that cause long-term functional limitations in major life activities) by establishing standardized services and care coordination. Key provisions require the division to identify community-based services, set eligibility procedures, prevent service duplication with other agencies, and establish quality standards for care, including therapy, housing support, and family counseling. The division must also develop collaborative agreements with other agencies to ensure comprehensive, coordinated support for these individuals.
