New Jersey A377 enhances oversight of state veterans' memorial homes with stricter infection control and staff training requirements.

New Jersey A377 increases regulation of state veterans' memorial homes by requiring each home to develop and implement an infection control and outbreak response plan. The bill mandates that all staff receive training on proper hand hygiene, use of personal protective equipment, environmental cleaning, infection control, and outbreak management. Additionally, it requires annual financial audits and at least one unannounced inspection each year to ensure compliance. The Division of Veterans' Healthcare Services and the Department of Health are tasked with overseeing these provisions.
