S 4030 New Jersey Senate · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Designates minimum percentage of residential substance use disorder treatment facility beds for use by NJ FamilyCare eligible individuals as condition for licensure.

This bill requires all new and existing residential substance use disorder treatment facilities in New Jersey to reserve at least 40 percent of their beds for individuals eligible for NJ FamilyCare, the state's Medicaid program. Facilities must meet this requirement within 12 months of initial licensure or license renewal and maintain it going forward. The Department of Health will not issue or renew licenses for facilities that fail to comply with this bed allocation mandate. The law applies to various types of residential treatment settings, including halfway houses, extended care facilities, and detoxification centers.
