Extends certain provisions relating to involuntary commitment.
This bill extends the duration of specific rules regarding involuntary commitment and the training requirements for short-term care facilities by eight months. It directly affects individuals subject to involuntary commitment procedures and the judges and staff at short-term care facilities who manage patient admissions. The key provision simply delays the expiration of existing laws in N.J.S.A. 30:4-27.9a and 30:4-27.9b, ensuring these regulations remain in effect for a longer period.
