A 441 New Jersey General Assembly · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Establishes the "New Jersey Health Care and Privacy Protection Act"; bars disclosure of certain geolocation data.

This bill, the "New Jersey Health Care and Privacy Protection Act," prohibits businesses from disclosing precise geolocation data (like GPS coordinates within 1,750 feet) of individuals near reproductive health care facilities. It directly affects businesses that collect location data (e.g., apps, services) and patients seeking reproductive health care, including abortion, contraception, and pregnancy testing services. The key provision bans the sharing of such location data when individuals are near these facilities, while excluding public records or communication content. The law aims to protect patient privacy by preventing location tracking from being used to identify or target people accessing these services.
