S 3760 New Jersey Senate · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Establishes central registry for, and provides for informational outreach to, senior citizens living in New Jersey.

This bill establishes a voluntary registry for New Jersey residents aged 65 or older, managed by the Division of Aging Services. Seniors can sign up to receive emergency wellness checks during crises, access local senior services information (like Area Agencies on Aging), and get program application links (e.g., NJ SAVE), while providing basic details like name, address, and contact information. The registry ensures strict confidentiality - data cannot be publicly disclosed or treated as a public record - and includes a 21-day removal process for participants. A statewide awareness campaign in English and Spanish will promote the registry to residents aged 64 and older.
