Legislative Update
ACTING GOVERNOR OLIVER SIGNS LEGISLATION TO SUPPORT NEW JERSEY VETERANS

     TRENTON - On Monday, August 05, 2019 acting Governor Sheila Oliver signed five pieces of legislation furthering the Murphy-Oliver Administration's commitment to support more than 435,000 veterans who call New Jersey home.

     "Today, we are backing up our words with action by signing five important pieces of legislation for our service women and men," said Acting Governor Sheila Oliver, who serves as Commissioner of the Department of Community Affairs. "From expanding veterans' property tax deductions to directing the provision of free legal services for veterans at risk of becoming homeless, these new laws put New Jersey on the right path for supporting those who have served our country."

     The following bills were signed into law:

     
S1331 (Gopal, Madden / Houghtaling, Downey, Danielsen) - Extends eligibility for veterans' property tax deduction to exemption to residents of continuing care retirement communities.


     Regarding 
S1331

     "To serve our country is to commit your life to our national values, freedoms and safety, no matter the cost," said Senator Vin Gopal. "This courageous and selfless act deserves to be acknowledged at all levels of our society, whether that means cutting veterans a break on their property taxes or expanding their access to career opportunities. No action is too big or small when we are thanking those who have sacrificed so much for us."

     "The veterans' property tax deduction is an extension of our state's appreciation for our veterans," said Senator Fred Madden. "These folks, whether they own their home or not, risked their lives for this country and while $250 may not seem like a large sum, when someone is in a retirement community, often living on a fixed income, every dollar counts."

     "Our veterans have done so much for us, it is simply the least we can do to give them the same assistance we give to current homeowners," said Assemblyman Eric Houghtaling. "The goal of this law is to make a simple fix to offer all of our veterans the same benefit whether they own a home or live in a continuing care retirement community."

     "Many veterans are discharged and end up experiencing significant financial hardships," said Assemblywoman Joann Downey. "This law will help veterans and their families by giving them just a little extra assistance to live in communities that can give them the care they not only need but deserve."

     "Extending property tax deductions and exemptions for veterans living in continuing care retirement communities is absolutely the right thing to do," said Assemblyman Joe Danielsen. "Veterans have sacrificed for our country and we should thank them by helping them any way we can."


 
GOVERNOR MURPHY TAKES ACTION ON LEGISLATION
 
            TRENTON - On Friday, August 09, 2019 Governor Phil Murphy signed the following bills into law:
 
 
            A-312 (Pinkin, Conaway, Giblin, Holley, Danielsen, Mukherji, Wimberly/Vitale, Rice) - Requires certain health care facilities to provide information concerning palliative care and hospice care services.
 
            S-1109 (Ruiz/Munoz, Quijano) - Renames "Physician Orders for Life-Sustaining Treatment Act" as "Practitioner Orders for Life-Sustaining Treatment Act"; permits physician assistants to sign and modify POLST forms; requires continuing education concerning end-of-life care.
