A5112

New Jersey A5112 provides protections for residents of long-term care facilities and long-term acute care hospitals.

New Jersey A5112 mandates that long-term care facilities prominently display notices informing residents about federal regulations prohibiting the requirement of binding arbitration agreements as a condition of admission or continued care. The bill requires facilities to use standard admission forms developed by the Department of Health and prohibits facility staff from acting as attorneys-in-fact for residents. It also mandates that residents or their representatives acknowledge receipt of these notices.
