Prohibits certain disclosures of autism-related data by State agencies without consent.
This bill prohibits New Jersey state agencies from sharing personally identifiable autism-related data (like an individual's diagnosis) with outside entities without specific permission. It requires agencies to obtain informed, written consent from the autistic individual or their legal guardian for most disclosures, except when required by court order, to provide essential services (like education or medical care), or to comply with other laws. All disclosures must be limited to the minimum necessary information and anonymized where possible. The bill directly affects autistic individuals and their families by strengthening privacy controls over sensitive health data held by state agencies.
