New Jersey S2952 strengthens regulation of cooperative sober living residences and boarding houses, including increased penalties for licensing.

New Jersey S2952 amends the "Rooming and Boarding House Act of 1979" to enhance the state's oversight of cooperative sober living residences and boarding houses. The bill increases the maximum civil penalty for certain licensing violations, including those related to concealing a revoked license or operating without a valid license. It mandates that the Department of Community Affairs (DCA) conduct unannounced inspections and record reviews of licensed cooperative sober living residences at least twice a year to ensure compliance with state standards.
