A 1523 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Prohibits automatic registration with New Jersey Immunization Information System.

This bill changes New Jersey's immunization registry enrollment process from automatic to requiring parental consent. Currently, newborns (born after January 1, 1998) are automatically enrolled in the New Jersey Immunization Information System unless parents opt out. The bill would require parents or legal guardians to actively provide written consent for any child under 18 to be enrolled, rather than having to opt out of automatic enrollment. It applies to all minors and newborns born after the bill's effective date, while maintaining the registry's purpose for health coordination and school/childcare requirements. The change shifts enrollment from default inclusion to explicit parental permission.
