Revises infection control regulation in long-term care facilities.

S 3200 requires New Jersey long-term care facilities (including nursing homes) to develop and maintain detailed outbreak response plans within 180 days. These plans must include protocols for isolating residents, notifying families/staff during outbreaks, monitoring for disease, and securing additional staff during health emergencies. The bill revises infection preventionist qualifications - replacing the prior requirement for infectious disease fellowship physicians with options for certification through approved programs (like AHCA or Nursing Home courses), while limiting infection preventionists to no more than five committees. Facilities must also establish infection prevention committees, conduct annual training exercises, and publish plans online or provide them to residents upon admission. The changes take effect immediately, aiming to standardize outbreak preparedness across all licensed facilities.
