This bill mandates the New Jersey Department of Health (DOH) to take action regarding mold infestations in health care facilities. Specifically, it requires the DOH to establish procedures for inspecting reports of mold infestations in buildings or homes under its jurisdiction within six months of the bill's effective date. Additionally, the DOH must create guidelines for preventing or removing mold in these facilities within the same timeframe.

The bill also provides a definition of "mold," describing it as any form of multicellular fungi that thrives on plant or animal matter and in indoor environments, listing specific types of mold commonly found in water-damaged materials. The DOH is tasked with adopting necessary rules and regulations to implement the provisions of this act, which is set to take effect immediately.
