S 4338 New Jersey Senate · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Establishes licensure requirement for source plasma donation centers.

New Jersey's S 4338 requires all source plasma donation centers to obtain an annual license from the Department of Health to operate in the state. Centers must pay an initial $25 fee (for existing centers) or higher renewal fees, with income from fees funding the Department's oversight. The law mandates centers follow federal safety standards for donor screening and plasmapheresis procedures, and grants the Health Commissioner authority to inspect facilities, enforce rules, and suspend licenses for violations. This directly affects plasma donation centers (which must comply with licensing), donors (ensuring safer facilities), and the state (through regulatory oversight and fee revenue).
