A 1013 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Establishes "Count the Kicks" public awareness campaign.

This bill requires New Jersey's Commissioner of Health to establish a public awareness campaign called "Count the Kicks" to educate pregnant women in their third trimester about tracking their baby's movements. The campaign must provide information on why fetal movement indicates health, how to monitor kick counts per medical guidelines, and how tracking may reduce stillbirth. The Commissioner must make materials available online in English and Spanish and distribute them through clinics, hospitals, pharmacies, WIC offices, and community programs. The campaign must report its progress to the Governor and Legislature within two years of implementation. The bill directly affects pregnant women in New Jersey seeking guidance on fetal health monitoring.
