Bucco Bill Easing Regulatory Burdens on Home Care Providers Signed into Law

Anthony M. Bucco Posted on July 29, 2026

Legislation sponsored by Senate Republican Leader Anthony M. Bucco (R-Morris, Passaic) to ease regulatory burdens on home health care providers was signed into law by Governor Mikie Sherrill.

"Families depend on home care providers to help their loved ones live safely and comfortably, and those providers should be able to spend their time caring for patients," said Senator Bucco. "By signing this bill into law, we are maintaining necessary accountability and oversight while helping ensure patients receive the quality care they deserve. It will also give families the peace of mind they need and allow small health care providers to focus on doing what they do best."

Senator Bucco's bill, S-3463, will make the following changes to existing law:

  • Raise the annual Medicaid reimbursement threshold for personal care assistance services that would trigger an audit for health care service firms from $250,000 to $500,000,
  • Require health care service firms to submit audits no later than September 30th of the calendar year in which it is due,
  • Revise the compensation threshold for reporting requirements for health care service firms from between $1 million and $10 million, to less than $10 million,
  • Revise the information that is to be contained in the health care service firm's report,
  • Provide for corrective action in certain cases; and
  • Permit audits to be performed by out-of-State accountants.
