A 2604 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Requires DOH to develop mobile cancer screening program; appropriates $100,000.

This bill (A2604) requires New Jersey's Department of Health (DOH) to create a mobile cancer screening program within 180 days of becoming law. The program will deploy staffed mobile vehicles to various locations across the state, each requiring at least one qualified health care professional to conduct screenings based on their expertise and available equipment. The state appropriates $100,000 from the General Fund to launch and operate the program. By two years after implementation, the DOH must submit a report to the Governor and Legislature detailing the program's results and recommending any necessary future action. The program directly affects the DOH and aims to improve access to cancer screenings for New Jersey residents.
