New Jersey S2268 mandates changes to policies for family support and respite care services for individuals under 21 with developmental disabilities.

New Jersey S2268 requires the Division of Children's System of Care to establish a 12-month authorization period for family support and respite care services for individuals under 21 with developmental disabilities. It ensures families receive a bank of respite care service hours separate from other family support service hours. The bill also mandates an annual reevaluation process instead of reapplication and prohibits reducing the authorized respite care service hours during the 12-month period.
