Requires DMVA establish veterans memorial home emergency hotline.
This bill requires New Jersey's Department of Military and Veterans Affairs (DMVA) to establish and maintain an emergency hotline for the state's four veterans memorial homes (Menlo Park, Vineland, Paramus, and Arneytown). The hotline must be used to report specific emergencies including suspected abuse, self-harm, suicide, neglect, criminal acts, deaths/injuries, or facility evacuations, and must be prominently advertised in the homes and on the DMVA website. The bill mandates the DMVA to develop this system using the emergency number 555 if available, directly affecting veterans residing in these facilities and their staff.
