A 3323 New Jersey General Assembly · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Establishes certain protections for persons providing, receiving, and allowing children to receive gender-affirming health care.

This bill (A 3323) amends New Jersey's child custody jurisdiction law to protect families seeking gender-affirming health care for children. It adds that a child's presence in New Jersey for gender-affirming care (as defined in pending legislation) satisfies the legal requirement for a court to have jurisdiction over custody matters. This means parents or guardians can seek custody decisions in New Jersey if a child is receiving necessary care here, without needing to prove other connections to the state. The bill does not change health care standards but addresses jurisdictional barriers for families traveling for treatment. The bill was introduced on January 13, 2026, and referred to the Assembly Health Committee.
