NJ A6057

State agencies must provide written notice to affected parties at least 60 days before eliminating, suspending, reducing, or materially modifying any ongoing State aid (grants, subsidies, reimbursements) or State services

For discontinuances affecting public health, safety, or welfare—including emergency services, healthcare programs, and essential social services—the required notice period extends to 90 days

Exceptions allowing shorter notice apply when discontinuance is required by federal law or court order, due to emergencies threatening public health/safety, from exhausted appropriations, or when recipients materially violated program terms

Written notice must include a clear statement of what is being discontinued, the effective date, specific reasons, available alternatives or transition assistance, and contact information for appeals

State agencies must also notify the presiding officers of both legislative houses and relevant committee chairs when discontinuing any State aid or service funded through legislative appropriations
