Requires DOH to provide information regarding spina bifida to certain parents and families of newborns; "Levi's Law."
This bill, known as "Levi's Law" (A 3766), requires New Jersey's Department of Health (DOH) to provide updated, evidence-based information about spina bifida - alongside existing Down syndrome resources - to healthcare providers and families. Specifically, it mandates that DOH post clear, plain-language resources online covering physical, developmental, and support services for both conditions, in English and Spanish. Healthcare providers (including doctors, genetic counselors, and nurses) must then share this information with parents who receive a positive prenatal or postnatal test result for spina bifida or Down syndrome. The law aims to ensure families receive timely, accessible guidance during critical decision-making moments.
