Establishes special committee of General Assembly entitled "New Jersey Veterans' Memorial Homes Investigation Committee."
This bill establishes a special committee to investigate New Jersey's three veterans' memorial homes (Menlo Park, Paramus, and Vineland) and their operations. The committee will examine how state policies, laws, and federal regulations since March 2020 affected residents, families, and staff, focusing on changes made after federal inspections. It has broad investigative powers, including subpoena authority, holding hearings, and issuing public reports with recommendations. The 7-member committee, appointed with bipartisan balance by the Speaker, will report findings to the Legislature and the public.
