A 6149 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Establishes nonpublic school nursing services pilot program to provide funding to county consortium of nonpublic schools for nursing services.

This bill establishes a three-year pilot program in eligible New Jersey counties (population over 950,000) to provide nursing services for students in nonpublic schools. It shifts funding directly to county consortia of nonpublic schools - replacing the previous system where school districts received funds - to cover nursing services for participating schools. Nonpublic schools in the pilot must stop offering "courtesy nursing services" to students and instead rely entirely on the county consortium for these services. The program requires schools to formally join the consortium by June 1 each year and includes annual audits and a state report on the pilot's effectiveness after two years.
