A 1330 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Requires reporting of first responder suicides to DOH.

This bill (A1330) requires all first responder squads or associations in New Jersey to report completed suicides of their members to the Department of Health (DOH). It mandates reporting specific data including the month/year of death, age, salary, service length, race, gender, cause/method of suicide, veteran status, and education level - without disclosing the individual's name or birthdate. The DOH will aggregate this data and make it publicly available for use in suicide prevention and intervention research. The bill applies broadly to paid/volunteer firefighters, EMTs, and emergency medical personnel who respond to emergencies. This reporting does not replace existing legal or professional requirements for death evaluations.
