S 798 New Jersey Senate · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Establishes one-year pilot program for certain persons with disabilities; appropriates up to $85,000.

This bill establishes a one-year pilot program in New Jersey's Department of Human Services for people with intellectual or developmental disabilities aged 21-30 who meet specific criteria (e.g., no aggressive behaviors, no dual diagnoses of mental illness and disability). It provides participants with at least six hours weekly of community-based activities, including job skills training, social workshops, mentorship, recreation, and volunteering. The program requires collecting participant data, reporting progress to parents/guardians (with consent), and submitting a final evaluation report to the legislature. The initiative is funded with up to $85,000 from the state budget, subject to approval by the Division of Budget and Accounting.
