S 2193 New Jersey Senate · 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 (like Health, Human Services, and Education) to post links and information about "baby boxes" and safe sleep education on their websites. Baby boxes are cardboard containers filled with essentials like diapers and safe sleep guides, designed as a safe sleep environment for infants. The bill mandates that all these departments make this information easily accessible, printable, and updated regularly. It directly affects expecting and new parents by improving access to resources that support infant safety and care.
