A 3364 New Jersey General Assembly · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Requires pharmacies to sell hypodermic syringes and needles to any customer over the age of 18 and post sign concerning consumer right to purchase clean syringes and needles.

This bill (A3364) requires New Jersey pharmacies to sell hypodermic syringes and needles to any customer aged 18 or older without a prescription for quantities of 10 or fewer. Pharmacies must also post a sign at the counter informing customers of this right, maintain syringe supplies behind the counter, and provide information about safe disposal and substance abuse treatment at the time of purchase. It directly affects pharmacies (mandating sales) and adults over 18 (who can purchase without a prescription for small quantities). The bill builds on existing law (P.L.2011, c.183) that previously allowed but did not require such sales, aiming to increase access to clean syringes to help prevent bloodborne diseases like HIV and hepatitis C.
