New Jersey S2560 regulates medication administration in day programs and community-based residential programs.

New Jersey S2560 mandates that medication in day programs and community-based residential programs be administered only by a nurse or a certified medication aide under a nurse's supervision. It requires parents or legal guardians to provide detailed medication instructions and dosages to the program's chief nurse whenever changes occur. The bill defines "community-based residential program" as a group home or supervised apartment regulated by the Department of Human Services, and "day program" as a certified program for individuals with developmental disabilities.
