(1) No application for an amended approval seeking the authority to construct a converted development shall be considered a "use variance" or other "'d' variance" application pursuant to subsection d. of section 57 of P.L.1975, c.291 (C.40:55D-70). Both planning boards that initially granted approvals for the age-restricted development and zoning boards of adjustment that initially granted approvals for the age-restricted development shall have the legal authority to grant amended approvals for a converted development without the need to seek relief pursuant to subsection d. of section 57 of P.L.1975, c.291 (C.40:55D-70), it being the intent of this act that such converted developments are to be considered permitted uses in the zoning district in which they are located. b. Applications seeking amended approval for a converted development shall include documentation that all of the following site improvement and infrastructure requirements have been met: (1) the site meets the Residential Site Improvement Standards parking requirement for the residential land uses in a converted development as established pursuant to N.J.A.C.5:21-4.14 through -4.16; (2) the recreation improvements and other amenities to be constructed on the site have been revised, as needed, to meet the needs of a converted development; (3) the water supply system is adequate, as determined pursuant to N.J.A.C.5:21-5.1, to meet the needs of a converted development; (4) the capacity of the sanitary sewer system is adequate to meet the projected flow requirements of a converted development pursuant to N.J.A.C.7:14A-23.3; (5) if additional water supply or sewer capacity is needed and the developer is unable to obtain additional supply or capacity, the number of dwelling units in the development has been reduced accordingly; (6) if additional parking is needed, and the developer is unable to provide the required parking, the number of dwelling units in the development has been reduced accordingly; and (7) if additional parking is provided and increases the amount of impervious cover by more than one percent, the storm water system calculations and improvements have been revised accordingly, except that solar panels shall not be included in any calculation of impervious surface or impervious cover. As used in this paragraph, "solar panel" means an elevated panel or plate, or a canopy or array thereof, that captures and converts solar radiation to produce power, and includes flat plate, focusing solar collectors, or photovoltaic solar cells and excludes the base or foundation of the panel, plate, canopy, or array. c. If the approving board determines that the requirements of P.L.2009, c.82 (C.45:22A-46.3 et seq.) have been satisfied, and the conversion can be granted without substantial detriment to the public good and will not substantially impair the intent and purpose of the zone plan and zoning ordinance, the application for the conversion shall be approved.

Findings, declarations relative to safe handling of hazardous drugs.
Status: in_force

2. a. The Legislature finds and declares that: (1) Health care personnel who work with or near hazardous drugs in health care settings may be exposed to these agents in the air and through contact with work surfaces, clothing, medical equipment, and patients; (2) According to the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH), which is part of the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, early concerns about occupational exposure to anticancer drugs first appeared in the 1970s; (3) Antineoplastic and other hazardous drugs have been identified with a number of acute, short-term, and chronic effects, including skin rashes, infertility, miscarriage, birth defects, liver and kidney damage, damage to the bone marrow, damage to the heart and lungs, and various cancers; and (4) In 2004, NIOSH published an alert on preventing occupational exposures to antineoplastic drugs in health care settings. NIOSH urges that all hazardous drugs be universally handled according to standard precautions as outlined in the alert, which includes recommended procedures for assessing workplace hazards, handling hazardous drugs, and using and maintaining equipment, as well as a list of "drugs considered hazardous," which was updated in 2010, 2012, and 2014. b. The Legislature therefore determines that it is the public policy of the State to provide for the appropriate regulation of the handling of hazardous drugs consistent with the NIOSH alert, regardless of the setting in which health care is provided, in order to protect health care personnel from potentially harmful exposure to antineoplasic and other hazardous drugs.

Restrictions on invasive examination; informed written consent.
Status: in_force

1. a. Except as provided in subsection b. of this section, no individual licensed or certified to practice health care pursuant to Title 45 of the Revised Statutes shall conduct an invasive examination of any patient while the patient is under general anesthesia or otherwise unconscious without the patient's informed written consent to the invasive examination. If a health care practitioner authorized to perform an invasive examination of a patient while the patient is under general anesthesia or otherwise unconscious determines that an additional invasive examination is required that is different in nature from the invasive examination to which the patient previously consented, the health care practitioner shall obtain a separate informed written consent prior to performing the additional invasive examination. b. The requirements of subsection a. of this section shall not apply in the case of emergency in which the patient is unconscious or unresponsive and it reasonably appears that immediate medical treatment is necessary to prevent severe or worsening injury to the patient or to save the patient's life, in which case a health care practitioner may render any appropriate emergency treatment services as are necessary, including performing any invasive examinations of the patient as shall be necessary to evaluate and determine the appropriate course of emergency treatment for the patient. The health care practitioner shall notify the patient as soon as practicable that an invasive examination has been performed. Nothing in this subsection shall authorize the provision of emergency treatment in any case in which the practitioner is provided, prior to emergency treatment, actual verification of an executed do not resuscitate order. Nothing in this subsection shall authorize the provision of emergency treatment that conflicts with a patient's verified Practitioner Orders for Life-Sustaining Treatment documentation. c. In no case shall any invasive examination of a patient who is under general anesthesia or otherwise unconscious be undertaken for educational or training purposes unless the patient has provided separate, informed consent, verbally and in writing, to the invasive examination. When requesting separate informed consent to conduct an invasive examination of a patient while the patient is under general anesthesia or otherwise unconscious for educational or training purposes, the health care practitioner requesting informed consent shall advise the patient of the exact nature of the invasive examination, of the estimated number of students and other individuals who will be performing or participating in the invasive examination, and that no medical care or treatment will be denied to the patient if the patient withholds consent to an invasive examination for educational or training purposes. In the event that the invasive examination for educational or training purposes would take place during, or in association with, a medical procedure, the consent required pursuant to this subsection shall be obtained independently of, and in addition to, any informed consent provided by the patient to undergo the medical procedure; provided that nothing in this subsection shall be deemed to prohibit a practitioner from obtaining informed consent to both the medical procedure and the invasive examination for educational or training purposes at the same time, provided that it is clear to the patient that the consents are being requested for distinct and independent purposes. d. A patient providing informed written consent for an invasive examination shall provide the consent to the health care practitioner using a form prescribed by the Commissioner of Health. In addition to any other requirements set forth by the Commissioner of Health, each form shall meet the following requirements: (1) each form shall have a heading clearly stating the nature of the examination; (2) each form shall contain a full description of the nature, purpose, and attendant risks associated with the proposed invasive examination; (3) each form shall indicate if the proposed invasive examination will be used for educational or training purposes; and (4) each form shall be separate from any other document, consent form, notice, or agreement. e. A health care practitioner who fails to obtain a patient's informed written consent prior to conducting an invasive examination of the patient while the patient is under general anesthesia or otherwise unconscious, except in the instances provided in subsection b. of this section, shall be subject to discipline for professional misconduct pursuant to section 8 of P.L.1978, c.73 (C.45:1-21). f.
