A 400 New Jersey General Assembly · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Requires Division of Developmental Disabilities to reopen programs providing functional services to persons with developmental disabilities in same manner as schools.

This bill requires New Jersey's Division of Developmental Disabilities to restart all programs providing functional services to people with developmental disabilities that closed during the 2020 pandemic emergency. It mandates these programs reopen under the same procedures and health/safety standards used for schools (referencing Executive Orders 103 and 175), including full-day in-person services. The law directly affects individuals with developmental disabilities who lost access to these critical support services. It takes immediate effect without requiring additional authorization.
