Establishes "Kidney Disease Prevention and Education Task Force."

Bill A 1014 establishes a 11-member "Kidney Disease Prevention and Education Task Force" within New Jersey's Department of Health. The task force will develop public awareness campaigns about early kidney disease detection, examine racial disparities in kidney care access and outcomes, and recommend statewide screening and treatment plans. It includes legislative leaders, health officials, and public members such as a nephrologist, dialysis center representative, and a patient with kidney disease (Stages 2-4). The task force must submit a report to the Governor and Legislature within two years, after which it will dissolve. This bill directly affects New Jersey residents, particularly those in communities disproportionately impacted by kidney disease, including Black and Hispanic populations.
