For the purpose of this subsection and section 3 of this amendatory and supplementary act,
"Statewide occupancy level" means 45% of the total number of licensed beds in a skilled nursing
or intermediate care facility for the first year following the effective date of this amendatory and
supplementary act. For each year thereafter, the Commissioner of Human Services shall
annually determine the Statewide occupancy level based on the commissioner's projection of the
need for nursing facility bed space for qualified Medicaid applicants for that year, but the level
shall not be less than 45%. Upon making the determination of what the Statewide occupancy
level shall be for the next year, the commissioner shall promptly notify the members of the
Senate Institutions, Health and Welfare Committee and General Assembly Corrections, Health
and Human Services Committee, in writing, about the proposed level and the commissioner's
rationale for so determining the level. After notifying the committee members, the commissioner
shall adopt the Statewide occupancy level by regulation pursuant to the "Administrative
Procedure Act," P.L.1968, c.410 (C.52:14B-1 et seq.).
 For the purpose of this section and section 3 of this amendatory and supplementary act,
"Medicaid occupancy level" means the average number of Medicaid recipients and recipients of
public assistance under P.L.1947, c.156 (C.44:8-107 et seq.) residing in a skilled nursing or
intermediate care facility divided by the total number of licensed beds in the facility during that
month. The Department of Human Services shall compile this information on a monthly basis
and it shall be made available to the public upon request. This information shall be provided to
the Division on Civil Rights on a monthly basis.
