Bill overview
The "Justice for Vulnerable Residents Act" establishes the Justice Center for the Protection of Individuals with Intellectual or Developmental Disabilities in New Jersey. This center aims to improve the safety and well-being of individuals with IDD who receive care in State-licensed residential and day habilitation settings. The act seeks to centralize investigations of abuse, neglect, and exploitation, drawing on a model from New York State, and establishes procedures for reporting and responding to such incidents. It also creates a registry of offenders and outlines responsibilities for the Justice Center’s staff and operations.
