This bill establishes a legal framework for the appointment of a receiver for service providers to individuals with developmental disabilities in New Jersey. It empowers the Department of Human Services to file a court motion for a receiver's appointment in cases of substantial violations of health, safety, or care standards. The motion must include material facts about the violations, documentation of attempts to remedy the issues, and a description of necessary actions. The court can then either dismiss the motion, appoint a receiver, or grant other appropriate relief. The bill outlines the receiver's responsibilities, which include managing operations, overseeing financial matters, and ensuring the health and safety of service recipients.

Additionally, the bill specifies conditions that create a rebuttable presumption of habitual violations, such as repeated hospitalizations of recipients or failure to meet payroll obligations. It allows the court to appoint a receiver with broad authority to manage the provider's affairs, including hiring professionals and making necessary repairs. The legislation aims to enhance protections for individuals with developmental disabilities by addressing the limitations of relying on non-performing providers to initiate receivership. It details the responsibilities and rights of both the providers and the department during the receivership process, including provisions for transferring ownership of services and terminating receivership once objectives are met. Overall, the bill seeks to create a structured framework to safeguard the well-being of individuals receiving these services.
