Establishes Advisory Committee on Family Services and Communications in Division of Developmental Disabilities in DHS.
This bill establishes an Advisory Committee on Family Services and Communications within New Jersey's Division of Developmental Disabilities (DHS). The committee, composed of nine members including family members and legal guardians of individuals with developmental disabilities from across the state, will evaluate DHS's communication systems and service delivery to families and guardians. Its key duties include identifying inefficiencies, reviewing complaints, and recommending improvements to DHS policies. The committee must report annual recommendations to DHS leadership, focusing on making outreach, communications, and support services more transparent and responsive. This procedural bill does not create new services but aims to improve existing interactions between DHS and families/guardians.
