Expands oversight and regulation of long-term care facilities; makes appropriation.

New Jersey's Senate Bill A 882 expands oversight of long-term care facilities by requiring the Commissioner of Health to establish "Mission Critical Long-Term Care Teams" to identify facilities needing intervention for health/safety issues. It mandates all facilities to create detailed outbreak response plans within 180 days, including isolation protocols, staff training, resident notification procedures, and staffing strategies during health crises. Facilities must also form infection prevention committees with specific staffing requirements, including a physician with infectious disease training and a certified infection preventionist. These changes directly affect nursing homes and long-term care facilities statewide, aiming to improve safety and response readiness through new regulations and increased inspections.
