Introduced·1/9/24

Allows certain persons with developmental disabilities 21 years of age and older to participate in both adult day and employment programs.

New Jersey S653 allows individuals with developmental disabilities aged 21 and older to participate in both adult day and employment programs at the same time. This bill defines "day program" as a certified program providing day habilitation services or sheltered workshops, and "employment program" as a program designed for those whose disabilities make sheltered employment suitable. The bill aims to expand programming options for people with developmental disabilities, ensuring they have access to the services most appropriate to their current needs.
