AI Summary

This bill requires the conversion of at least one ward in the New Jersey Veterans' Memorial Homes in Menlo Park and Paramus into single occupancy rooms. It also mandates upgrades to the heating, ventilation, and air conditioning systems in those two facilities to meet infection control standards. The Adjutant General is given discretion to require additional room modifications, such as negative pressure ventilation, to support infectious disease control measures. The bill appropriates federal funds from the American Rescue Plan Act or other available sources to cover the costs of these changes, and if federal funds are insufficient, it allows for appropriations from the state's General Fund.
