Increases maximum age for pediatric long-term care facility residents to 26.
This bill changes the age limit for residents in New Jersey's pediatric long-term care facilities from 19 to 26. It directly affects young adults aged 20-26 who currently cannot access these specialized facilities after turning 19. The key provision removes the previous age restriction, allowing facilities to admit and provide services to residents up to age 26. This aligns with the current policy that limits pediatric care facilities to residents under 19.
