S 3755 New Jersey Senate · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Establishes framework for appointment of receiver for provider of services to individuals with developmental disabilities.

This bill establishes a legal framework for New Jersey's Department of Human Services to request a court-appointed receiver for service providers who fail to meet health, safety, and care standards for individuals with developmental disabilities. The Department must demonstrate a pattern of violations in health, safety, or care standards before a court can appoint a receiver to take over the provider's operations. The receiver would manage both financial and operational aspects of the provider, including hiring staff, handling finances, and making decisions to protect recipients, with the goal of either fixing the provider's issues or transitioning care to a new provider. The receiver would have broad authority to manage the provider's business, including controlling assets, making operational decisions, and ensuring services continue without interruption. This framework aims to protect vulnerable individuals with developmental disabilities when their current service provider is unable to maintain required standards.
