A 4016 New Jersey General Assembly · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Requires DVA establish veterans facility in Ocean or Monmouth County.

This bill (A4016) requires New Jersey's Department of Veterans Affairs (DVA) to establish a new veterans' facility in either Ocean or Monmouth County, named the "Ronald S. Dancer Veterans Memorial Home." The facility must be located within one mile of an acute care facility and become fully operational within five years of the bill's enactment. The DVA must secure funding annually from the General Fund to purchase the property and cover related costs like planning, design, and improvements. This bill amends state law to include the new facility in DVA's list of veterans' homes, alongside existing locations in Menlo Park, Vineland, and Paramus.
