The New Jersey State Bar Association’s Board of Trustees convened on Nov. 18 to support the following bills before the state Legislature:
A4428 Conaway—a bill that establishes cause of action for residents of assisted living facilities and comprehensive personal care home providers. The NJSBA will seek amendments to expand protections against third-party guarantees and to limit judicial discretion with regard to attorney’s fees.
A1309 Greenwald / S2696 Greenstein—a measure that requires law enforcement agencies to provide a copy of certain police reports to crime victims. The NJSBA will seek amendments to define what a police report is so there is uniformity in its application.
