Assemblyman Hutchison Bills Move Forward in Committee Unanimously

Assembly Joint Resolution 181 (AJR181) and Assembly Bill 4535 (A4535), both championed by Assemblyman Hutchison, have successfully passed committees, marking significant progress for New Jersey communities.

• AJR181 calls for the designation of May 15 as "Tuberous Sclerosis Complex Awareness Day" in New Jersey to foster a greater understanding of this rare genetic disorder and to support individuals and families affected by it. 

• A4535 proposes stricter oversight of cooperative sober living residences and rooming houses, introducing annual unannounced inspections and public directories of licensed sober living facilities, administering random drug tests, encouraging counseling and peer-led meetings, and banning alcohol and illegal drugs. The bill aims to ensure safety, compliance, and transparency while also increasing penalties for license violations.

  
  

The advancement of these bills represents a step forward in addressing critical health and safety issues in the state.
