Overview
This bill requires the Division of Developmental Disabilities in New Jersey to create guidelines for placing individuals in tiered group homes (Level 1 and Level 2) and transferring them between these levels. Level 1 homes are for individuals with minimal challenging behaviors, while Level 2 homes are for those with persistent behaviors posing a risk of harm. The guidelines will consider an individual’s needs, behavioral history, and ability to function independently, and aim to align with existing standards from another state agency.
