A 1419 New Jersey General Assembly · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Prohibits acquisition or disclosure of certain personal health information without consent.

This bill prohibits health care providers, mobile app developers, and third parties from collecting or sharing New Jersey residents' personal health data - including biometric information like heart rate, sleep patterns, or menstrual cycles, and health records - without explicit consent. It requires consent before initial collection and within three days before each disclosure, though ongoing consent covers repeated collection if previously authorized. Exceptions apply for medical treatment between health providers. Violations could result in $1,000 penalties per violation, without affecting existing HIPAA protections.
