S 3492 New Jersey Senate · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Creates "Reproductive Health Care Access Fund" to strengthen access to reproductive health care.

S 3492 creates a "Reproductive Health Care Access Fund" to address gaps in reproductive health care access in New Jersey, particularly noting that five southern counties have no identifiable abortion providers. The fund will support three specific programs: training for health care professionals through the Reproductive Health Care Clinical Training Program, security grants for clinics facing threats through the Reproductive Health Care Security Grant Program, and loans for facility improvements through the Reproductive Health Care Facility Loan Program. These programs will be administered by state agencies including the Department of Law and Public Safety and the Office of Homeland Security. The bill also requires a statewide needs assessment to examine gaps in reproductive health care access and the impact of out-of-state restrictions.
