A 3948 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Allows each county to create central registry and provide emergency supply kits to distribute to senior residents during emergencies.

This bill allows New Jersey counties to create voluntary registries for seniors aged 65+ to receive emergency assistance. Counties must collect basic contact and medical information from participants, run public awareness campaigns, and maintain strict data privacy (excluding registry details from public records). Each county may also prepare emergency supply kits for registered seniors, with kit contents determined locally. The state will fund kit preparation through the General Fund. The bill directly affects seniors seeking enhanced emergency support and counties managing disaster response.
