S 794 New Jersey Senate · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Permits certain adult day care centers and group homes to restrict access to certain persons who violate food restriction policies.

This bill (S 794) permits licensed adult day care centers and group homes serving individuals with disabilities to restrict access for caretakers, guardians, or employees who violate facility food restriction policies. It allows these facilities to temporarily or permanently deny physical access to such individuals when food policies are broken. The law defines "adult day care center" as facilities providing non-24-hour health services under supervision, and "group home" as residences for people with developmental disabilities. The policy change directly affects facility management and the specific individuals violating food policies, without altering disability service standards.
