Establishes "Long-Term Care Facility Infectious Disease Preparedness and Home Health Care Study Commission."

This bill establishes a 15-member study commission to examine two key areas: (1) how New Jersey's long-term care facilities (including nursing homes and assisted living residences) prepare for infectious disease outbreaks, and (2) ways to encourage home health care services. The commission, composed of state agency representatives and industry experts, will analyze facility outbreak response plans, staffing adequacy during outbreaks, and methods to retain home health aides. It must submit a report to the Governor and Legislature within 12 months, detailing findings and recommendations. The commission will expire 3 months after submitting its final report. (Note: This is a procedural study commission, not a policy change.)
