This bill amends the responsibilities and duties of the Nursing Home Administrators Licensing Board in New Jersey. Key revisions include a requirement for the board to issue licenses to applicants within 90 days of application submission, and to approve or disapprove nursing home administrator intern training program plans within specified timeframes. If a plan is not addressed within the established period, the nursing home may implement it. Additionally, nursing home administrators must notify the board of any changes to their address or name within six months of the next licensing renewal date, providing appropriate documentation.

Further changes stipulate that applicants for licensure must complete 1,750 hours in an intern program over two years and pass a licensing examination within two attempts, with provisions for retaking the exam. The bill also allows for the immediate approval of applications from licensed administrators in good standing from other states, provided there are no disciplinary actions against them, and grants presumptive eligibility for out-of-state applicants transferring to in-state facilities under the same ownership. These amendments aim to streamline the licensing process and enhance the standards for nursing home administration.
