S 2214 New Jersey Senate · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Requires certain ultrasounds on pregnant women to be performed by licensed health care professionals.

This bill requires that ultrasounds performed on pregnant women at "limited service pregnancy centers" must be conducted by a licensed health care professional. It directly affects organizations that provide pregnancy counseling or information without performing abortions, making referrals to abortion providers, or being state-licensed medical facilities. The key provision mandates that only individuals licensed under New Jersey's health care statutes (Titles 45 or 52) can perform these ultrasounds at such centers. The bill defines "limited service pregnancy centers" to exclude hospitals, abortion clinics, and family planning clinics that offer medical services or contraception.
