Creates New Jersey Mental Health Residential Reform Treatment Act.

This bill creates a new licensing pathway for non-hospital inpatient mental health facilities in New Jersey that provide mid-to-long-term care (45-120 days) for adolescents (12-21) and adults. It directly affects individuals needing comprehensive mental health treatment beyond short-term hospital stays, as well as mental health professionals and private facility operators seeking to establish such services. Key provisions require facilities to meet strict standards, including accreditation, minimum staffing ratios (with trauma-informed therapists), mandatory staff training, personalized treatment plans, and annual facility inspections. Additionally, the bill mandates a state workforce program to address mental health professional shortages through training grants, loan forgiveness, and salary incentives.
