S 2478 New Jersey Senate · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Requires DHS to create English and Spanish-language Internet websites to promote enrollment in affordable health care plans.

S 2478 requires New Jersey's Department of Human Services to create two dedicated websites promoting enrollment in Medicaid and NJ FamilyCare programs. One website will be in English, listing health navigators and community centers that assist with health insurance enrollment, including the languages spoken at each location. A second website will provide identical content entirely in Spanish with a Spanish-language domain name to improve access for Spanish-speaking residents. This bill directly affects New Jersey residents, particularly those with limited English proficiency, by making health care enrollment resources more accessible and culturally responsive.
