Unfortunately, despite the determination of Senate Republicans to move this process forward, no substantive action has been taken by the Senate Democratic Majority to understand how the flawed policies of the Murphy administration could be improved to better protect the tens of thousands of seniors, veterans, and residents with disabilities who live in LTC facilities across New Jersey.

TRENTON A Senate committee advanced a bill that would make it easier for people to take their insurance companies to court after crashes with an uninsured or underinsured driver, despite warnings that it could lead to higher car insurance premiums in New Jersey.
The Senate Commerce Committee advanced the legislation, S1559, after changing it to remove provisions that would have entitled successful claimants to pre-judgment interest, attorney’s fees and litigation expenses. They would be entitled to actual damages awarded by a jury.
