Overview
This bill allows New Jersey’s local health boards to require a minimum indoor temperature of 70 degrees Fahrenheit in certain buildings occupied by seniors and people with disabilities between October and April. The requirement applies to ‘housing for older persons’ and specific community residences for individuals with disabilities, but not to rooms occupied exclusively by those who are not elderly or have disabilities. This change expands the existing temperature regulation to ensure consistent warmth during colder months.
