A 4240 New Jersey General Assembly · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Requires DOH to inspect reports of mold infestation in health care facilities.

This bill requires New Jersey's Department of Health (DOH) to inspect reports of mold infestation in healthcare facilities within six months of the law taking effect. It also mandates the DOH to develop guidelines for preventing or removing mold in these facilities within the same timeframe. The law defines "mold" broadly to include specific types commonly found in water-damaged building materials, such as Stachybotrys Chartarum. Healthcare facilities regulated by the DOH under Title 26 of New Jersey law would be directly affected by these new inspection and prevention requirements.
