Enhances access to reproductive health care; appropriates $20 million; repeals various sections of law.
This New Jersey bill (A 2452) establishes a constitutional right to access abortion care, including termination of pregnancy, and requires health insurance plans to cover abortion services without cost-sharing (like deductibles or copays). It repeals conflicting state regulations that previously restricted abortion coverage in health plans and state-funded programs. The bill appropriates $20 million to support reproductive health services and defines key terms like "medical abortion" and "practical support" (e.g., transportation, lodging for care access). It directly affects residents seeking abortion care, health insurers, and state agencies administering health programs.
