Establishes Task Force on Institutional Discrimination in Health Care.

This bill establishes a 19-member Task Force on Institutional Discrimination in Health Care within New Jersey’s Department of Health. The task force will study why health outcomes differ by race and income, review existing research, and identify specific solutions like hospital evaluations and anti-racism training for medical staff. It must submit a report to the Governor and Legislature within six months of forming, after which the task force will expire. The bill directly affects New Jersey’s healthcare system and aims to address systemic disparities in patient care.
