Requires Governor hold public hearings during declarations under Emergency Health Powers Act.
This bill requires New Jersey's Governor to hold monthly public hearings in different parts of the state whenever a public health emergency is declared under the Emergency Health Powers Act. It directly affects residents by providing a regular, structured opportunity to voice concerns and share information about how emergency measures impact communities. The hearings must occur at least once a month during the emergency declaration and its extensions, ensuring ongoing public input. The requirement applies to all new declarations and any modifications to existing declarations made before the bill takes effect.
