Requires emergency shelters for the homeless to admit certain persons unless they pose danger.

This bill requires New Jersey emergency shelters for the homeless to admit individuals regardless of whether they: have a mental illness, are substance-dependent, are not taking prescribed medication, or consumed alcohol off-site. It directly affects homeless individuals who face barriers based on these characteristics. Shelters may still refuse admission only if someone poses a danger to self, others, or property, or if legally authorized. The law does not prevent shelters from prohibiting drug/alcohol use on their premises. This expands existing protections that previously only covered mental illness.
