S 3047 New Jersey Senate · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Establishes requirements to evaluate certain people who are pregnant and who have given birth for preeclampsia.*

S 3047 requires hospitals, birthing centers, and healthcare providers in New Jersey to screen pregnant people and those who have given birth within six weeks for preeclampsia (a serious pregnancy-related high blood pressure condition) when symptoms are present. It mandates using evidence-based screening tools, providing patient education about warning signs, and offering a standardized written refusal process for screening. Providers must discuss results and develop treatment plans if preeclampsia is suspected, while encouraging home blood pressure monitoring. This bill directly affects individuals experiencing pregnancy-related symptoms and aims to improve early detection through standardized healthcare protocols.
