Requires long-term care facilities to provide its employees with necessary supplies and equipment at no cost.

This bill requires long-term care facilities in New Jersey to provide all necessary equipment and supplies to their employees at no cost. The law specifically mandates that these facilities cover items such as personal protective equipment, cleaning supplies, linens, hygiene products, and food for meal preparation, while excluding standard closed-toe shoes and scrubs unless a specific brand is required. To ensure compliance, the Department of Health must review facilities monthly and can impose a $3,000 daily fine or take licensure action against any facility that fails to meet these requirements.
