New Jersey A3977 strengthens state regulation of boarding houses, including cooperative sober living residences.

New Jersey A3977 amends the "Rooming and Boarding House Act of 1979" to enhance state regulation of cooperative sober living residences. The bill defines a cooperative sober living residence as a boarding house for individuals recovering from drug or alcohol addiction. It mandates that operators of such residences must notify the Department of Community Affairs (DCA) and submit a written report within five working days of incidents affecting residents' or staff's health, safety, or welfare.
