It heads to the governor’s desk for consideration.
According to a release, the bill (A-3207) stipulates that the government home health agency would still maintain ultimate control over key governing responsibilities. The measure is sponsored by Assembly Democrats R. Bruce Land and Matthew Milam (D-Atlantic, Cape May, Cumberland) who released the following joint statement:
