A 3470 New Jersey General Assembly · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Establishes program in DOH for health care provider evaluation and response for patients who are victims of domestic violence.

This bill establishes a domestic violence prevention program within New Jersey's Department of Health to help healthcare providers identify and assist patients who may be victims of domestic violence. It requires the Commissioner of Health to develop mandatory training for all licensed healthcare professionals on screening patients during medical visits, recognizing warning signs, documenting concerns, and connecting patients with community resources. The program also mandates creating educational materials for both providers and patients about domestic violence risks, prevention, and available support services. The Department must collect data on the program's effectiveness and submit annual reports to the Governor and Legislature.
