A 4332 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Requires certain ultrasounds on pregnant women to be performed by licensed health care professionals.

This bill requires ultrasounds performed on pregnant women at "limited service pregnancy centers" to be conducted by licensed health care professionals or certified sonographers. It directly affects centers that provide pregnancy counseling but do not offer abortion referrals, contraception, or comprehensive reproductive care (like prenatal services). The law mandates that only individuals with specific licenses or certifications - such as those regulated under New Jersey’s health care licensing laws or certified by national sonography boards - can perform these ultrasounds. The bill defines "limited service pregnancy centers" to exclude hospitals, abortion clinics, and facilities offering full reproductive health services. It takes effect immediately upon enactment.
