NJACP, along with concerned advocates, people with developmental disabilities and families, urge you to support A 1673/S811

What is the goal of A 1673/S811?
Legislation sponsored by Assemblymen Louis Greenwald (D-6), John McKeon (D-27), John Bramnick (R-21) and Assemblywoman Joan Voss (D-38), and Senator’s Joseph Vitale (D-19) and Tom Kean (R-21) provides a plan for rebalancing State resources to provide community services and supports for persons with developmental disabilities. The genesis for the A-1673/S811 occurred because of the commitment of the New Jersey Association of Community Providers, Advocates for Alternatives and the Autistic Self Advocacy Network to assist people living with developmental disabilities to lead the lives of their choice. We are also indebted to Assemblyman Louis Greenwald who believed in making a difference and had the courage and daring to take a different path.
