Establishes tuition reimbursement program for certain advanced practice nurses who provide mental health care services in underserved areas in New Jersey.
This bill creates a state-funded tuition reimbursement program for New Jersey residents who are certified advanced practice nurses (APRNs) with specialized mental health training. To qualify, nurses must agree to provide full-time mental health care in designated underserved areas for 1-4 years in return for reimbursement. The program covers 25% of eligible tuition costs per year of service (capped at 100% total), requiring participants to maintain NJ residency, certification, and service in areas identified by the Health Commissioner as having mental health professional shortages. It explicitly prohibits simultaneous participation with other state or federal loan repayment programs.
