A 5085 New Jersey General Assembly · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Establishes pilot program in certain counties to provide funding for nonpublic school nursing services through county consortium of nonpublic schools.

This bill creates a three-year pilot program in large New Jersey counties to allow nonpublic schools to receive nursing services through a new county-wide consortium. Under the plan, school districts would transfer existing state funding for nonpublic nursing aid to this consortium, which would then contract with providers to deliver care to students at participating private schools. The legislation establishes specific rules for schools to join the program, requires independent annual audits of the consortium's performance, and mandates a review after two years to determine if the pilot should be expanded statewide.
