Regulates residential mental health treatment facilities.

This bill (A 905) establishes new licensing and operational standards for residential mental health treatment facilities in New Jersey. It requires these facilities to provide 24/7 structured care consistent with clinical best practices, focus on helping patients transition to lower-level community care, and prohibit retrospective reviews of medical necessity. Facilities must obtain a license from the Commissioner of Health, meet specific ownership and compliance standards, and cannot operate at the same location as substance use treatment programs. The bill directly affects residential mental health facilities, their patients, and operators by creating a formal licensing process and defining clear operational requirements.
