Findings, declarations relative to law enforcement professional standards.
Status: in_force

2. The Legislature finds and declares: a. The citizens of the State of New Jersey are entitled to be protected and served by law enforcement professionals who conduct themselves in accordance with the highest standards of integrity, proficiency, and accountability. b. In December 1999, the State of New Jersey entered into a consent decree with the Civil Rights Division of the United States Department of Justice, No. 99-5970 (MLC). c. The Governor's Advisory Committee on Police Standards, established pursuant to Executive Order No. 29, issued by Governor Corzine on August 23, 2006, conducted a thorough examination of the policies and practices of the State Police and its compliance with the terms of the consent decree and of the Attorney General's Office's oversight and direction. The Advisory Committee on Police Standards concluded that the State Police, the Office of State Police Affairs, and the Attorney General had worked cooperatively to rebuild public trust through significant revisions of State Police standing operating procedures, by changing the relationship between the Attorney General's Office and the State Police, and through the development of innovative management techniques. Based upon these findings, the Advisory Committee recommended that the State join in a motion with the United States Department of Justice to terminate the consent decree, subject to the condition that the significant reforms accomplished during the term of the consent decree would be institutionalized, and, as appropriate, codified by statute. d. The objective monitoring and independent oversight functions performed by the independent monitoring team appointed by the United States District Court pursuant to the consent decree have helped to promote and support the vigorous, lawful, and non-discriminatory implementation of law enforcement practices and procedures. In recognition of the strong public interest in perpetuating the quality and standards established under the consent decree, it is necessary and appropriate to maintain an office to assume the functions that had been performed by the independent monitoring team under the consent decree and to perform other duties in support of county and municipal law enforcement agencies. e. Many of the reforms accomplished under the consent decree have been codified in rules, regulations, standing operating procedures or operations instructions promulgated by the superintendent and approved by the independent monitoring team appointed by the United States District Court. However, the need for flexibility to account for developments in constitutional law, the advent of new technologies, and the development of new best practices in policing, makes it impracticable and inappropriate to codify all consent decree-related rules, regulations, standing operating procedures and operations instructions in statutory law. Rather, the reforms achieved under the consent decree can best be institutionalized by mandating that any future changes to State Police rules, regulations, standing operating procedures and operations instructions relating to the consent decree are approved in writing by the Attorney General prior to issuance or adoption by the superintendent, and by ensuring the issuance or modification of any rule, regulation, standing operating procedure or operations instruction deemed necessary to maintain or enhance the practices of the Division of State Police on matters pertaining to any applicable non-discrimination policy established by the Attorney General; the law of arrest, search and seizure; and the documentation of motor vehicle stops and law enforcement activities occurring during the course of motor vehicle stops.

A fine shall only be issued if the offense has not been cured within that two-month timeframe. Issuance of a written notice or a fine shall not provide exemption to the requirement of conducting a lottery no less than 60 days following posting on the Housing Resource Center.

Status: in_force

10. a. The School Employees' Health Benefits Commission shall ensure that every contract purchased thereby, which provides hospital and medical expense benefits, additionally provides coverage and payment for health care services delivered to a covered person through telemedicine or telehealth, on the same basis as, and at a provider reimbursement rate that does not exceed the provider reimbursement rate that is applicable, when the services are delivered through in-person contact and consultation in New Jersey, provided the services are otherwise covered under the contract when delivered through in-person contact and consultation in New Jersey. Reimbursement payments under this section may be provided either to the individual practitioner who delivered the reimbursable services, or to the agency, facility, or organization that employs the individual practitioner who delivered the reimbursable services, as appropriate. b. A health benefits contract purchased by the School Employees' Health Benefits Commission may limit coverage to services that are delivered by health care providers in the health benefits plan's network, but may not charge any deductible, copayment, or coinsurance for a health care service, delivered through telemedicine or telehealth, in an amount that exceeds the deductible, copayment, or coinsurance amount that is applicable to an in-person consultation. In no case shall a health benefits contract purchased by the School Employees' Health Benefits Commission: (1) impose any restrictions on the location or setting of the distant site used by a health care provider to provide services using telemedicine and telehealth or on the location or setting of the originating site where the patient is located when receiving services using telemedicine and telehealth, except to ensure that the services provided using telemedicine and telehealth meet the same standard of care as would be provided if the services were provided in person; (2) restrict the ability of a provider to use any electronic or technological platform to provide services using telemedicine or telehealth, including, but not limited to, interactive, real-time, two-way audio, which may be used in combination with asynchronous store-and-forward technology without video capabilities, including audio-only telephone conversations, to provide services using telemedicine or telehealth, provided that the platform used: (a) allows the provider to meet the same standard of care as would be provided if the services were provided in person; and (b) is compliant with the requirements of the federal health privacy rule set forth at 45 CFR Parts 160 and 164; (3) deny coverage for or refuse to provide reimbursement for routine patient monitoring performed using telemedicine and telehealth, including remote monitoring of a patient's vital signs and routine check-ins with the patient to monitor the patient's status and condition, if coverage and reimbursement would be provided if those services are provided in person, and the provider is able to meet the same standard of care as would be provided if the services were provided in person; or (4) limit coverage only to services delivered by select third-party telemedicine or telehealth organizations. c. Nothing in this section shall be construed to: (1) prohibit a health benefits contract from providing coverage for only those services that are medically necessary, subject to the terms and conditions of the covered person's health benefits plan; or (2) allow the School Employees' Health Benefits Commission, or a contract purchased thereby, to require a covered person to use telemedicine or telehealth in lieu of receiving an in-person service from an in-network provider. d.

This section shall apply to the School Employees' Health Benefits Program (SEHBP) and to those employers defined pursuant to section 32 of P.L.2007, c.103 (C.52:14-17.46.2) that participate in the program. a. (1) Notwithstanding the provisions of any other law, rule, or regulation to the contrary, beginning with the plan year that commences January 1, 2021 and for each plan year thereafter, the School Employees' Health Benefits Program shall offer only three plans that provide medical and prescription drug benefits for employees, and retirees who are not Medicare-eligible, and their dependents if any. All other plans offered prior to January 1, 2021 for employees, and retirees who are not Medicare-eligible, and their dependents if any, shall be terminated. The three plans shall be the New Jersey Educators Health Plan as developed by the School Employees' Health Benefits Plan Design Committee in accordance with subsection f. of this section which sets forth the plan design of the New Jersey Educators Health Plan; the SEHBP NJ Direct 10 plan as adopted and implemented by the School Employees' Health Benefits Commission for the plan year that began January 1, 2020; and the SEHBP NJ Direct 15 plan as adopted and implemented by the School Employees' Health Benefits Commission for the plan year that began January 1, 2020. Employers that participate in the School Employees' Health Benefits Program shall retain the ability to enter the program for medical only plans and may separately purchase pharmacy and dental benefits outside of the program without limitation or restriction. (2) Only the plans set forth in this section shall be offered by the program regardless of any collective negotiations agreement between a participating employer and its employees in effect on the effective date of this act, P.L.2020, c.44, that provides for enrollment in other plans that were offered by the program prior to January 1, 2021. b. Prior to January 1, 2021, the program, through the Division of Pensions and Benefits in the Department of the Treasury, shall provide for an enrollment period during which all employees who commenced employment prior to the effective date of this act shall be required to select affirmatively one of the three plans specified in subsection a. of this section. If an employee fails to select affirmatively a plan during this enrollment period, the program shall enroll the employee, and the employee's dependents if any, in the New Jersey Educators Health Plan for the plan year beginning January 1, 2021 and ending December 31, 2021. During the enrollment period, any person who is enrolled in a plan offered by the program and who is paying the full cost of health care benefits coverage shall also be required to select affirmatively one of the three plans specified in subsection a. of this section. If a person fails to select affirmatively a plan during this enrollment period, the program shall enroll the person, and the person's dependents if any, in the New Jersey Educators Health Plan for the plan year beginning January 1, 2021 and ending December 31, 2021. Any such person shall continue to pay the full cost of coverage and shall not be subject to the contribution schedule or any mandatory enrollment period as set forth in this section. c.

The employee shall remain enrolled in either the New Jersey Educators Health Plan or the Garden State Health Plan selected by the employee at the annual open enrollment for each plan year through the plan year that ends December 31, 2027, provided that the employee during this period may waive coverage as an employee and select and change the type of coverage received under the plan following a qualifying life event, in accordance with the program regulations. The enrollment required by this paragraph shall not include an employee who commenced employment prior to the effective date of P.L.2020, c.44 and who did not enroll, who waived enrollment, or who was not eligible to enroll prior to that effective date for health care coverage provided by the employer, including, but not limited to, an employee who commenced employment as a part-time employee prior to the effective date of P.L.2020, c.44. If such an employee was required to enroll prior to the effective date of P.L.2021, c.163 in accordance with this paragraph, the employee shall be notified promptly in writing that enrollment is not mandatory and shall be provided promptly with an opportunity to select enrollment in another health care benefits plan.For the plan year beginning January 1, 2028, the employee may select, during any open enrollment period or at such other times or under such conditions as the program may provide, any plan offered by the program. (2) For the plan year beginning January 1, 2021, the program shall enroll a retiree who is not Medicare-eligible, and the retiree's dependents if any, in the New Jersey Educators Health Plan for health care benefits coverage as a retiree, if the retiree does not waive coverage. The retiree shall remain enrolled in that plan for each plan year through the plan year that ends December 31, 2027 or until the retiree becomes eligible for Medicare, whichever comes first. The retiree who becomes eligible for Medicare shall no longer be eligible for enrollment in the New Jersey Educators Health Plan, except that any dependent of the retiree who is not eligible for Medicare may remain eligible for coverage under the New Jersey Educators Health Plan. For the plan year beginning January 1, 2028, that retiree who is not Medicare-eligible may select, during any open enrollment period or at such other times or under such conditions as the program may provide, any plan offered by the program. (3) Except as otherwise provided in this subsection or subsection b. of this section, selection of a plan shall be at the sole discretion of the employee or retiree who is not Medicare-eligible. d. Beginning January 1, 2022 and for each plan year thereafter, the program shall offer a fourth plan to be called the Garden State Health Plan. The plan shall be developed by the School Employees' Health Benefits Plan Design Committee. If the committee does not adopt a design for the Garden State Health Plan by December 31, 2020, the Division of Pensions and Benefits in the Department of the Treasury may develop the Garden State Health Plan. The program shall provide an enrollment period prior to January 1, 2022. The Garden State Health Plan shall provide medical and prescription drug benefits that are equivalent to the level of medical and prescription drug benefits provided by the New Jersey Educators Health Plan, except that the benefits under the Garden State Health Plan shall be available only from providers located in the State of New Jersey. Access to a service provider that is located outside of the State shall be available only under such terms, conditions, restrictions, and limitations as the plan design committee or the division, as appropriate, shall provide in the plan governing documents. Employers that participate in the School Employees' Health Benefits Program shall retain the ability to enter the program for medical only plans and may separately purchase pharmacy and dental benefits outside of the program without limitation or restriction. e.

No change in the plan design of those plans shall be made before that date unless such a change in plan design is required by federal or State law to governmental health care benefits plans or to both governmental and non-governmental health care benefits plans. For the plan year that commences January 1, 2028 and for each plan year thereafter, the plan design of the New Jersey Educators Health Plan, the Garden State Health Plan, the NJ Direct 10 plan, and the NJ Direct 15 plan as those plan designs are specified in subsections a., d., and f. of this section may be modified by the School Employees' Health Benefits Plan Design Committee.

Notwithstanding any provision of law, rule, or regulation to the contrary, for any period of time during which the employer does not have to pay a premium or periodic charge for any health care benefits plan or program provided to its employees through the School Employees' Health Benefits Program, an employee enrolled in such plan or program shall not be required to make the employee's contribution toward that premium or periodic charge during that period of time. In the event that a collective negotiations agreement specifically addresses a premium holiday the collective negotiations agreement shall be controlling. L.2020, c.44, s.1; amended 2021, c.163, s.2.
