New Jersey S3003 sets governance and service standards for developmental disability service providers. The bill requires covered provider agencies to establish a board of directors with a majority of independent members and to meet at least quarterly. It mandates the appointment of a self-advocate or family member as a board observer. For agencies with over $2 million in revenue, an independent audit committee must be formed, tasked with reviewing annual audits and ensuring auditor independence.
