Requires Governor hold public hearings during declarations under Emergency Health Powers Act.

S 966 requires New Jersey's Governor to hold monthly public hearings in different parts of the state during any public health emergency declared under the Emergency Health Powers Act. These hearings would provide residents a direct opportunity to discuss the emergency's impacts and voice concerns, addressing current limitations in public input. The bill applies to all initial declarations and any extensions or modifications of such declarations, including those made before the law takes effect. This procedural change aims to increase transparency and public engagement during health emergencies.
