Establishes commission to study impact of certain Medicaid reimbursement rate change on nursing homes.

This bill establishes a nine-member study commission to analyze how increased Medicaid reimbursement rates for nursing home personal care services (from 2017 and 2019 laws) affected nursing homes in New Jersey. The commission will study impacts on operations, staffing compliance, employee retention, financial health, resident costs, and whether any nursing homes closed after the rate changes. It must gather data from nursing homes and submit a report with findings and recommendations to the Governor and Legislature within 12 months. The study focuses solely on factual analysis of existing policy effects, not future policy proposals.
