A 1905 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Requires DHS to take action to raise public awareness of privacy laws that prevent disclosure of health care enrollment information to immigration authorities.

New Jersey's Assembly Bill A1905 requires the Department of Human Services to create a public awareness campaign informing immigrants about privacy laws that prevent health care enrollment data from being shared with immigration authorities. The campaign must provide culturally and linguistically appropriate materials in English and Spanish, distributed through health clinics, community centers, media, and a dedicated Spanish-accessible website. The website must summarize relevant privacy protections and include bilingual navigation and links to additional resources. This aims to help uninsured immigrants access state health care programs (like Medicaid and NJ FamilyCare) without fear of immigration consequences.
