Establishes one-year pilot program for certain persons with disabilities; appropriates up to $85,000.
S 694 establishes a one-year pilot program in New Jersey for individuals aged 21-30 with intellectual or developmental disabilities who meet specific criteria (e.g., no aggressive behavior, not dual-diagnosed with mental illness). The program provides at least six hours weekly of recreational, social, and vocational activities - including skill-building workshops, mentorship, and community volunteering - through trained direct support professionals. It requires data collection on participant progress, quarterly reports to guardians (with consent), and a final evaluation report to the legislature within three months of completion. The state appropriates up to $85,000 to fund this initiative, which expires upon submission of the final report.
