This bill amends the responsibilities and duties of the Nursing Home Administrator's 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, the bill mandates that nursing home administrators notify the board of any changes to their address or name within six months of the next licensing renewal date, and includes specific requirements for applicants regarding internship hours and examination retakes.
Further provisions in the bill establish immediate approval for applications from licensed nursing home administrators in good standing from other states, provided there are no disciplinary actions against them. It also grants presumptive eligibility for licensure to out-of-state applicants transferring to in-state nursing homes under the same ownership. These changes aim to streamline the licensing process and enhance the standards for nursing home administration in New Jersey.
