Requires adult day care centers to provide reasonable accommodations for certain persons.

This New Jersey bill (A-3678) requires licensed adult day care centers to make reasonable efforts to accommodate participants' religious dietary needs. It directly affects centers that provide daytime care for functionally or cognitively impaired adults (defined as facilities licensed under state law or offering structured community programs under 12 hours daily). The key provision mandates centers to adjust food services to meet religious dietary requirements, provided it aligns with their operational capacity. The law takes immediate effect upon enactment.
