A 305 New Jersey General Assembly · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Establishes "New Jersey COVID-19 Long-Term Health Effects Task Force."

This bill establishes the "New Jersey COVID-19 Long-Term Health Effects Task Force" to study and address ongoing health impacts of the pandemic. The task force will identify symptoms, treatments, and vaccine-related health effects, develop public education strategies, and create guidance for healthcare providers treating affected patients. It requires a nine-member group including health officials, medical experts, and public appointees from legislative leaders, with the Department of Health providing administrative support. The task force must submit a final report with recommendations within one year of forming and will expire 30 days after that submission. This directly affects New Jersey residents experiencing long-term COVID-19 symptoms and the state's healthcare system.
