A 1989 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Grants children places in resource family care right to have certain signage displayed in home.

This bill amends New Jersey's Child Placement Bill of Rights Act to grant children in resource family care (foster care) the right to have specific signage displayed in their placement home. It requires conspicuous signage listing contact information for child abuse reporting and mental health services to be placed in at least three locations within the home. The policy directly affects children in foster care placements and their temporary caretakers by ensuring accessible resources for support. This is a concrete procedural change to existing rights, adding a visible resource access point without altering other placement requirements.
