A 3194 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Establishes testing and visitation requirements and employment restrictions for long-term care facilities in response to outbreaks of infectious disease.

This bill sets requirements for New Jersey long-term care facilities (including nursing homes and assisted living residences) during infectious disease outbreaks. It mandates weekly testing for staff and residents who travel outside the facility, immediate testing for anyone showing symptoms, and restricts staff from working at multiple facilities. The bill also establishes visitation rules allowing residents to designate up to two visitors for daily indoor visits with screening and testing requirements, while requiring facilities to provide isolation spaces for infected residents. These requirements remain in effect for the duration of any declared public health emergency.
