S 4237 New Jersey Senate · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Establishes "Kidney Disease Study Commission."

This bill creates the Kidney Disease Study Commission within New Jersey's Department of Health to investigate kidney disease disparities affecting minority and underserved populations. The nine-member commission will include state officials and six public appointees tasked with researching the causes of higher disease rates and lower transplant success in these communities, while also examining treatment patterns under Medicaid and private insurance. To carry out its work, the commission will hold public hearings, utilize state resources, and submit annual reports to the Governor and Legislature detailing its findings and recommendations for future action.
