Requires Office of State Long-Term Care Ombudsman submit annual report to veterans' facility oversight boards.

This bill (A3158) requires New Jersey's Office of State Long-Term Care Ombudsman to submit an annual report to the oversight boards of each veterans' facility. The report must summarize the ombudsman's work related to veterans' facilities, document significant care system issues, analyze trends, and include recommendations to improve care quality and protect residents' rights. It mirrors the existing annual report the ombudsman submits to the Governor and Legislature but specifically targets veterans' facilities. The bill applies to all facilities designated as "veterans' facilities" under state law (P.L.1989, c.162). The report must be submitted by September 30 each year and made publicly available.
