S 3048 New Jersey Senate · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Concerns collection of data relating to Haitian migrants in NJ.

S 3048 requires New Jersey's Department of Human Services to collect data on Haitian migrants in the state, regardless of immigration status. This data will be gathered from federal, state, local governments, and nonprofits to better understand the needs of this population. The bill directly affects Haitian migrants in New Jersey, including undocumented individuals, by enabling the state to identify those requiring assistance. It does not create new services but aims to improve the efficiency of existing support programs through better data collection. The legislation follows New Jersey's status as home to the fourth-largest Haitian-American population in the U.S. (approximately 69,000 people).
