Requires certain ultrasounds on pregnant women to be performed by licensed health care professionals.
This bill requires that any ultrasound performed on a pregnant woman at a "limited service pregnancy center" must be done by a licensed health care professional qualified to perform ultrasounds. It directly affects pregnancy counseling organizations (like crisis pregnancy centers) that provide free or paid counseling but do not perform abortions, make abortion referrals, or hold medical licenses. The law defines "limited service pregnancy center" to exclude hospitals, abortion clinics, or family planning centers that provide medical services, and specifies that the health care professional must be licensed under New Jersey’s Title 45 or Title 52. The bill takes effect immediately upon enactment.
