Provides for oversight of DHS contracts with providers serving persons with developmental disabilities.
This New Jersey bill establishes stricter oversight for contracts between the Department of Human Services and providers serving individuals with developmental disabilities. It requires providers to submit quarterly financial reports detailing how they spend state funds, while also mandating that general and administrative costs do not exceed 10 percent of their annual budget. To enforce these rules, the State Comptroller and the Department will conduct random and ongoing reviews of financial records, and contract administrators must perform unannounced site visits at least once a year to verify service quality. Contracts that fail to meet these financial limits or show poor performance in helping clients achieve their goals may face penalties, including probation or termination.
