Bill Summary
This bill makes an FY2026 supplemental appropriation of $1 million to the Division of Developmental Disabilities in the Department of Human Services for the Larc Norcross School Special Needs Adult Program transportation. The Larc Norcross School Special Needs Adult Program serves individuals with disabilities over the age of 21, filling a critical need for this population as it transitions out of educational programming. Through the provision of daily life care supports, therapy consultation, and recreational and socialization opportunities, the program provides participants with a respectful environment of continued growth and independence. Transportation is key to participation in this day program. While most participants receive Medicaid coverage, transportation funding under Medicaid is inadequate. These additional State funds will ensure participants have consistent and reliable access to transportation in order to receive the beneficial services provided by the Larc Norcross School Special Needs Adult Program.
AI Summary
This bill provides a supplemental appropriation of $1 million from the General Fund to the New Jersey Department of Human Services specifically for transportation services for the Larc Norcross School Special Needs Adult Program. The funding is designated to support transportation for adults over 21 with disabilities who participate in the program, which offers daily life care supports, therapy consultation, and recreational opportunities. While most participants receive Medicaid coverage, the existing Medicaid transportation funding is insufficient, making this state allocation critical for ensuring consistent and reliable transportation access. The appropriation is part of the fiscal year 2026 budget and will be allocated under the "Community Programs" and "Adult Activities" budget categories, with the explicit purpose of supporting transportation for program participants. The bill will take effect immediately upon enactment, enabling the program to quickly access and utilize the additional funding to support transportation services for adults with special needs.
