S 2255 New Jersey Senate · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Revises responsibilities and duties of Nursing Home Administrator's Licensing Board.

This bill revises the duties of New Jersey's Nursing Home Administrator's Licensing Board, directly affecting nursing home administrators seeking or renewing licenses. It sets specific timelines: requiring the board to issue licenses within 90 days of application, approve/disapprove training plans within 15 business days (or 10 for amendments), and automatically permit implementation if not acted upon within that timeframe. The bill also mandates that applicants complete 1,750 hours in an internship program (max 50 hours weekly) within two years, pass a licensing exam within two attempts, and provide documentation for name/address changes. Additionally, it streamlines licensing for out-of-state administrators in good standing or transferring between facilities under the same ownership.
