S 3003 New Jersey Senate · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Establishes certain governance and service standards for developmental disability service providers; appropriates $300,000.

This bill establishes new governance and financial standards for developmental disability service providers in New Jersey that receive significant state funding (defined as $250,000+ in billable services annually). It requires these agencies to have independent boards of directors, limit non-client spending to 15% of program revenue, cap executive salaries based on agency size, and prohibit loans to staff or board members. Agencies must publicly share financial reports and report major operational changes to recipients and families. The $300,000 appropriation funds the implementation of these oversight requirements.
