VINELAND, N.J. -- Sen. Jeff Van Drew, D-1, is backing legislation to create a task force charged with fully reviewing the state's seven develop mental centers.
The task force also would develop a plan for the future of developmental centers in this state, which could include plans for facility closures.
"This will ensure that residents and their families are able to decide the best course of care going forward should a closure occur, and that no one region of the state will be unduly harmed," he said.

N.J. Bill to Increase Awareness of Programs Availalable for People with Disabilities
TRENTON, N.J. -- The quality of life for New Jerseyans with developmental disabilities is not improving, and in fact is diminishing due to the economic crisis. However, a ray of hope exists with a recent attempt by members of the State Legislature to begin with a compilation of data about these individuals.
New Jersey State Assembly members Valerie Vainieri Huttle, Upendra Chivukula and Ruben J. Ramos Jr. have introduced a bill in the lower house that is designed to arouse public awareness of New Jerseyans with Developmental Disabilities, and to increase enrollment of these individuals with special needs in public programs that were created to serve them.
