Four bills derived from the Manatt Health study of COVID-19 deaths in long-term care are now on Gov. Phil Murphy's desk.

State lawmakers hope to vote within 10 days on nearly a dozen bills overhauling regulation of New Jersey’s long-term care facilities

Seniors in 2021 and 2022 could delay graduation, mixing community college courses and high school extracurricular activities and spring sports, if law enacted.

A directive was essentially rescinded, but it remains the focus as the death toll in long-term care facilities exceeds 6,000 residents and staff.

Employees in New Jersey who feel their health is at risk when at work due to a lack of COVID-19 protections can refuse to work and still receive unemployment benefits.

As the COVID-19 threat drags on, elderly New Jerseyans in nursing homes and other long-term care facilities continue to be blocked from seeing family and friends in person.

The proposed law was triggered by the overcrowding of a makeshift morgue in Andover Township.

LGBTQ curriculum is included in the measure's religious or moral grounds for pulling kids out of class or getting school vouchers.

A new bill would give minors in New Jersey the right to consent to vaccinations starting at age 14, regardless of whether their parents or guardians approve.

Municipalities are moving to rein in short-term rentals, so proposed law would set the guidelines, including up to $250 a year to be a 'registered host.'
