A 2036 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Requires various State departments to provide linkages to information on "baby boxes" and safe sleep education on their websites.

This bill requires New Jersey's Department of Children and Families (DCF) and other relevant state departments (Health, Human Services, Education) to post links to "baby box" programs and safe sleep education on their official websites. Specifically, departments must provide easily printable information about the program and prominently display a clickable link to it, updating both as needed. The "baby box" referenced is a cardboard box containing newborn essentials (like diapers and wipes) and safe sleep resources, designed as a safe sleep environment for infants. The policy mandates that all these departments coordinate to ensure consistent public access to this information through their online platforms.
