Requires DOH to conduct survey on status of antenatal and prenatal care clinics in New Jersey.
This bill requires New Jersey's Department of Health (DOH) to survey all antenatal and prenatal care clinics - including those that have closed or reduced services in the past two years - to assess the state of pregnancy care access. The survey will collect data on clinic availability, service gaps, and demographic details about patients (especially low- and moderate-income pregnant women) to identify disparities in care. The DOH must analyze the data to spot trends, develop strategies for improving access and quality, and submit a public report to the legislature within 18 months. The bill does not change existing laws but aims to inform future policy decisions about clinic closures and maternity care resources.
