A 3692 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Requires physicians and other prescribers to obtain electronic or written consent for certain medications with "black box warnings."

This bill requires doctors, physician assistants, and advanced practice nurses to get documented electronic or written consent from patients (or their legal guardians) before prescribing certain psychotropic medications with FDA "black box warnings" - the strongest safety alerts for serious risks, like some ADHD treatments. Prescribers must first explain potential side effects and obtain consent acknowledging this information. If written consent isn't possible, oral consent must be recorded in the patient's file. Violations could lead to disciplinary action by medical or nursing licensing boards.
