A 3152 New Jersey General Assembly · 2026-2027 Regular Session

"Prenatally and Postnatally Diagnosed Conditions Awareness Act in New Jersey."

This bill requires health care professionals to provide new or expecting parents who receive positive test results for Down syndrome or other conditions diagnosed before birth (prenatally) or after birth (postnatally) with written information about outcomes and referrals to support services. The state Department of Health must establish a hotline, maintain a website with resources, and expand peer support programs to connect parents with community assistance and evidence-based information. The bill coordinates with a federal law and seeks federal funding to implement these services without requiring state funds for initial implementation.
