New Jersey S4646 prohibits the Department of Community Affairs from requiring medical notes for heating and cooling assistance.
New Jersey S4646 aims to prevent the Department of Community Affairs from mandating medical notes from physicians or licensed medical professionals for applicants seeking assistance through the Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program and the Universal Service Fund. This bill ensures that applicants do not need to submit such information as a condition for receiving heating or cooling assistance. The Department of Community Affairs must update its rules and regulations to align with this change.
