"Prenatally and Postnatally Diagnosed Conditions Awareness Act in New Jersey."
This bill requires health care professionals to provide new or expecting parents with positive prenatal or postnatal test results for conditions like Down syndrome with specific, evidence-based information about outcomes and referrals to support services. It mandates the establishment of a state hotline, updated website resources, expanded peer support programs, and provider networks offering current information on living with diagnosed conditions. The Department of Health must coordinate these services, prioritize partnerships with disability advocacy groups, and align with the federal Prenatally and Postnatally Diagnosed Conditions Awareness Act. The law applies directly to parents receiving positive test results and health care providers who deliver those results.
