A 2288 New Jersey General Assembly · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Establishes licensure requirement for source plasma donation centers.

This bill requires all source plasma donation centers in New Jersey to obtain a state license to operate, directly affecting center operators and their staff. It mandates annual licensing with a $25 fee for existing centers (higher fees for new applicants), requires safety rules based on federal standards, and allows health department inspections. Centers must display licenses visibly and follow guidelines for donor screening and staff practices. Violations could lead to license suspension or revocation, enforced through administrative hearings.
