Full text of New Jersey New Jersey Statutes § 30:7b-4, with citation guidance and answers to common questions.
§ 30:7b-4.
ARTICLE IV (a) Whenever, pursuant to the laws of the State in which a patient is physically present,
it shall be determined that the patient should receive after-care or supervision,
such care or supervision may be provided in a receiving State. If the medical or other appropriate clinical authorities having responsibility for
the care and treatment of the patient in the sending State shall have reason to believe
that after-care in another State would be in the best interest of the patient and
would not jeopardize the public safety, they shall request the appropriate authorities
in the receiving State to investigate the desirability of affording the patient such
after-care in said receiving State, and such investigation shall be made with all
reasonable speed. The request for investigation shall be accompanied by complete information concerning
the patient's intended place of residence and the identity of the person in whose
charge it is proposed to place the patient, the complete medical history of the patient,
and such other documents as may be pertinent. (b) If the medical or other appropriate clinical authorities having responsibility
for the care and treatment of the patient in the sending State and the appropriate
authorities in the receiving State find that the best interest of the patient would
be served thereby, and if the public safety would not be jeopardized thereby, the
patient may receive after-care or supervision in the receiving State. (c) In supervising, treating, or caring for a patient on after-care pursuant to the
terms of this article, a receiving State shall employ the same standards of visitation,
examination, care, and treatment that it employs for similar local patients.
