Establishes brain injury screening and education program in DCF.

This bill creates a new brain injury screening and education program within New Jersey's Department of Children and Families to help identify children and young adults aged five to 21 who have or are at risk of having brain injuries. The program will use validated screening tools and provide training to a wide range of professionals, including teachers, judges, law enforcement, healthcare workers, and social service staff, to better recognize and treat these conditions. It also aims to educate parents and guardians about the connection between brain injuries and issues like juvenile delinquency or early psychiatric diagnoses while establishing guidelines for follow-up assessments. To support these efforts, the bill authorizes the department to seek funding from federal, private, and other sources and requires an annual report to the Governor and Legislature on the program's progress.
