A 4314 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Expands definition of personal data to include use of reproductive health care services and prohibits collection of reproductive health care prescription drugs from Prescription Monitoring Program.

This bill amends New Jersey's privacy law to expand the definition of "personal data" to include a person's use of or attempt to use reproductive health care services. It specifically prohibits entities from collecting or disclosing this information, including preventing prescription monitoring programs from tracking drugs used for contraception, sterilization, abortion, or in-vitro fertilization. The law also adds reproductive health care usage to the category of "sensitive data" that requires special protections. These changes directly affect healthcare providers, pharmacies, and any business that collects or processes personal data in New Jersey, strengthening privacy protections for individuals seeking reproductive health care services.
