Requires reporting of certain attempted and completed suicides by minors.
This bill requires New Jersey hospitals to annually report data on minors (under 18) who attempted or completed suicide using drugs. Hospitals must provide the number of cases, plus optional details like the minor's age, ethnicity, gender, race, and the specific drug used. This data is submitted to the New Jersey Poison Control Center, which then creates an annual report for the Governor and Legislature. The bill includes strict privacy protections, stating that personal identifiers cannot be disclosed unless required by law and that no health privacy laws are violated. It is solely a data-collection measure, not a policy change for prevention or treatment.
