S 3193 New Jersey Senate · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Revises responsibilities and duties of Nursing Home Administrator's Licensing Board.

This bill updates the rules for New Jersey's Nursing Home Administrator's Licensing Board to clarify and streamline the licensing process for nursing home administrators. It requires the board to issue licenses within 90 days of application, approve or deny intern training program plans within 15 business days (or 10 days for amendments), and mandates applicants complete 1,750 internship hours (max 50 weekly) within two years while passing a licensing exam on the first two attempts. The bill also automatically approves out-of-state applicants with clean disciplinary records and simplifies licensure for administrators transferring between same-ownership facilities. These changes directly affect nursing home administrators, their employers, and applicants seeking licensure in New Jersey.
