S 3005 New Jersey Senate · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Establishes framework for appointment of receiver for provider of services to individuals with developmental disabilities.

This bill creates a process for New Jersey's Department of Human Services to seek court-appointed receivers (temporary managers) when service providers for people with developmental disabilities repeatedly fail to meet safety or care standards. The department must document violations, give providers time to fix issues, and only request a receiver if problems persist. If appointed, the receiver takes control of facilities to maintain services, pay staff, and address safety concerns while protecting recipients' continuity of care. This provides a structured intervention option without immediately closing facilities.
