The governing body of the New Jersey State Bar Association (NJSBA) met virtually in February and gave its seal of approval to a pair of pending measures in Trenton. The NJSBA will support A-4260/S-2878, which would revise requirements concerning reported cases of abuse, neglect or exploitation of vulnerable adults. However, the Association will reach out to legislators to suggest ways to address issues about decriminalization, how it might impact attorney-client privilege and reporting requirements.
The Board of Trustees also voted to support A-4837, which authorizes a surviving spouse or family member to use a person's motor vehicle registration certificate until it expires.
Additionally, the trustees approved the selection of Intelliscan to serve as a third-party administrator should an election be necessary this spring.
