Requires DOH to use Basic Screening Survey to assess oral health in children.

This bill requires New Jersey's Department of Health to use the Basic Screening Survey (developed by dental directors' associations) to assess oral health in pre-school and school-aged children across all counties. It mandates biannual collection of random data samples from each county, with parental consent required for any data collection, and requires all data to comply with privacy laws. The Department must submit biennial reports to the Governor and Legislature containing findings and recommendations based on this data. The survey is designed to identify major oral health issues through basic screenings - not clinical diagnoses - and applies directly to children in New Jersey public health assessments.
