Requires converting portion of Paramus and Menlo Park veterans' memorial homes into single occupancy rooms; requires upgrades to ventilation systems; provides Adjutant General discretion for additional room considerations.
This bill requires converting at least one ward in each of the Paramus and Menlo Park Veterans' Memorial Homes into single-occupancy rooms. It mandates upgrading heating, ventilation, and air conditioning systems to infection control standards and allows the Adjutant General flexibility to add features like negative pressure ventilation for disease control. Funding for these changes must first come from available federal funds (including American Rescue Plan Act funds), with state General Fund money covering any shortfall. The changes directly affect veterans residing in these two facilities.
