Requires converting portion of Paramus and Menlo Park veterans' memorial homes into single occupancy rooms; requires upgrades to ventilation systems; provides Adjutant General discretion for additional room considerations.
This bill directs the New Jersey Department of Veterans Affairs to convert at least one ward each in the Paramus and Menlo Park veterans' memorial homes into single-occupancy rooms. It also mandates upgrades to the heating, ventilation, and air conditioning systems at both facilities to meet infection control standards, including the potential use of negative pressure ventilation. The legislation allows the state's Adjutant General to decide on additional room modifications and authorizes funding from federal grants or state general funds to cover these costs.
