S 2751 New Jersey Senate · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Establishes New Jersey Commission on Health Equity.

New Jersey's S 2751 establishes the permanent New Jersey Commission on Health Equity within the Department of Health. The 27-member commission includes legislative appointees and ex-officio representatives from key state departments like Health, Human Services, and Environmental Protection. Its primary role is to develop strategies addressing institutional racism in health outcomes, specifically targeting disparities affecting communities of color, working-class residents, and people with disabilities. The bill focuses on creating a coordinated state framework to improve health equity across sectors, rather than implementing new regulations or funding.
