A 1899 New Jersey General Assembly · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Requires Office of State Long-Term Care Ombudsman submit annual report to veterans' facility oversight boards.

This bill requires New Jersey's Office of State Long-Term Care Ombudsman to submit an annual report to the oversight board of each veterans' facility, in addition to its existing report to the Governor and Legislature. The report must summarize the Ombudsman's activities related to veterans' facilities, document significant care and service problems, analyze trends, and include recommendations to improve care quality and protect residents' rights. It mirrors the existing annual report format but focuses specifically on veterans' facilities, as defined in state law. This directly affects veterans' facilities and their oversight boards by mandating regular, detailed updates on facility care quality. The bill does not change current reporting requirements for general long-term care facilities.
