"Farm Worker Epidemic Health and Safety Act"; concerns public health and certain protections for farm workers.

S 2214, the "Farm Worker Epidemic Health and Safety Act," requires New Jersey state departments to coordinate during public health emergencies (like pandemics) to share information about violations of health, labor, and environmental laws at farm worksites, housing, and transportation facilities. It directly affects farm workers and employers by mandating that the Department of Health collaborate with other agencies (Labor, Community Affairs, Environmental Protection, Agriculture) to track violations and enforce safety standards. Key provisions include establishing a shared information system for departments to coordinate inspections and reporting enforcement actions to the Governor and public within specified timeframes after an emergency ends. The bill aims to prevent disease outbreaks among farm workers - identified as highly vulnerable due to crowded conditions and limited access to sanitation - thereby protecting both workers and public health.
