S 3496 New Jersey Senate · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Provides for voluntary contributions for taxpayers on gross income tax returns to support reproductive health care services.

This bill establishes a voluntary contribution option on New Jersey's state income tax returns to fund reproductive health care services. Taxpayers can choose to add a contribution to their refund or send an extra payment to a new "Reproductive Health Care Equitable Access Fund" in the Treasury. The fund would receive these voluntary contributions, and the state would annually distribute all collected money equally to the three largest Medicaid reproductive health care providers in the state. These funds must be used to provide reproductive health services - including pregnancy care and pregnancy termination - to individuals who cannot afford them.
