A 3138 New Jersey General Assembly · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Establishes "Count the Kicks" public awareness campaign.

This bill requires New Jersey's Commissioner of Health to create a "Count the Kicks" public awareness campaign. It directly affects pregnant women in New Jersey by providing information on tracking fetal movements in the third trimester, including why movement matters for fetal health, how to monitor kicks per medical guidelines, and the correlation between tracking and reduced stillbirth risk. The campaign must be available online in English and Spanish and distributed through healthcare providers, WIC centers, pharmacies, libraries, and community organizations. The Commissioner must also report on the campaign's progress to the Governor and Legislature within two years. The bill takes effect immediately upon passage.
