A 2056 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Establishes centralized electronic health information exchange infrastructure to facilitate reentry into civilian life for recently incarcerated persons.

This bill establishes a centralized electronic health information exchange system to support recently incarcerated individuals transitioning to civilian life in New Jersey. It requires the New Jersey Health Information Technology Commission to create secure infrastructure for sharing health records between health providers, correctional facilities, reentry programs, and addiction treatment services - only with a patient’s informed consent. The system must comply with all applicable federal and state privacy laws while facilitating the exchange of health information necessary for reentry support. This policy change directly affects formerly incarcerated people, healthcare providers, and correctional agencies by improving coordinated care during reentry.
