Establishes "Commission on People with Disabilities."
S 1120 establishes a 25-member "Commission on People with Disabilities" within New Jersey's Department of Human Services. The commission, with 13 voting members appointed by the Governor, Senate President, and Assembly Speaker (requiring at least 3 disability community members total), and 12 non-voting ex-officio members from state agencies, will advise on policies, coordinate services, and prevent employment discrimination for people with disabilities. Its key duties include suggesting legislation, serving as a government-contact point for disability communities, and ensuring state agencies meet disability needs. The commission must submit annual reports to the Governor and Legislature on its findings and recommendations.
