A 3092 New Jersey General Assembly · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Requires institution of higher education to report allegation of sexual misconduct by health care professional to licensing board for investigation.

This bill requires colleges and universities in New Jersey to report any allegations of sexual misconduct committed by health care professionals employed at their institutions to the relevant state licensing board. The licensing board must then investigate the allegation to determine if disciplinary action, license suspension, or restrictions are needed. Institutions making these reports in good faith are protected from civil liability. The law directly affects higher education institutions, health care professionals (like nurses or therapists), and the state licensing boards that oversee their credentials. It does not replace campus investigations or law enforcement reporting.
