S 4448 New Jersey Senate · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Exempts health care professionals licensed in a foreign nation from New Jersey's licensing requirements while providing services to team participating in 2026 FIFA World Cup.

This bill exempts foreign-licensed healthcare professionals from New Jersey's standard licensing requirements when providing medical services exclusively to athletes or team personnel of international soccer teams participating in the 2026 FIFA World Cup. It applies only during the tournament period (June 1-July 31, 2026), covering all related activities including pre-tournament training. The exemption is limited to services for team members affiliated with foreign nations competing in the event, not general public healthcare. It does not alter New Jersey's regular licensing rules for healthcare professionals outside this specific timeframe and scope.
