A 3352 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Establishes tuition reimbursement program for certain advanced practice nurses who provide mental health care services in underserved areas in New Jersey.

This bill establishes a tuition reimbursement program for advanced practice nurses in New Jersey who provide mental health care in designated underserved areas. Eligible nurses must be New Jersey residents, certified by the state nursing board, and have mental health training; they agree to work full-time in underserved areas for one to four years in exchange for reimbursement. The program reimburses 25% of eligible tuition costs per year of service (capped at 100% total over four years), based on the lowest tuition year in their accredited program. Nurses must adhere to service requirements, including charging standard rates with sliding fees for uninsured patients and maintaining certification and residency.
