A 5015 New Jersey General Assembly · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Makes various changes to regulation of health care service firms.

This bill expands the definition of Health Care Service Firms in New Jersey to include any agency that refers individuals to provide companion, health care, or personal care services in the homes of people with disabilities or those aged 60 and older. Under the new rules, these firms must register with the Division of Consumer Affairs and obtain accreditation from a recognized body within 12 months of registration. Additionally, the legislation requires larger firms to submit annual financial statements and periodic audits or third-party reports based on their revenue and Medicaid funding levels. These changes aim to increase oversight and transparency for a broader range of organizations serving elderly and disabled residents.
