A 787 New Jersey General Assembly · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Regulates use of social care information.

This bill regulates how social care information is handled within a "closed-loop referral system" (CLRS), which connects individuals with social services like housing, food assistance, and transportation. It prohibits participating organizations - such as healthcare providers, nonprofits, and government agencies - from selling, licensing, or using this information for any purpose beyond its original collection reason. Violations carry a $1,000 civil penalty per incident, enforced by the Division of Consumer Affairs. The law requires new rules for implementation and takes effect 180 days after enactment.
