A 737 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Requires school districts to implement policy pertaining to use in school setting of medical devices that require utilization of district's internet.

This bill requires New Jersey public school districts to create written policies for students using medical devices that need school internet access (like remote health monitors). Within 90 days of the law taking effect, districts must establish policies covering parent information requirements, strict data privacy measures, and parental acknowledgment of the rules. Schools must also maintain the necessary technology infrastructure for these devices, with funding available through a new "Medical Device Technology Fund" administered by the state education department. School districts must annually report to the state on device usage, implementation challenges, and suggestions for improvement. The policy directly affects students with medical devices, their families, and school districts.
