Requires DOH to collect and coordinate data on language proficiency of children who are deaf or hard of hearing.

This bill requires New Jersey's Department of Health (DOH) to collect and coordinate data on the language skills and educational progress of children who are deaf or hard of hearing, from birth through age 10. The data will be gathered using a centralized platform, shared with the Departments of Human Services and Education (with parental consent), and used to develop better support programs. It directly affects children aged 0-10 diagnosed with deafness or hearing loss in New Jersey. The law mandates privacy compliance with federal and state laws and requires parental written consent before sharing any data.
