S 110 New Jersey Senate · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Establishes maternity care standards for general hospitals providing maternity care.

New Jersey's S 110 requires the Department of Health to create safety standards for maternity care at general hospitals licensed to provide such services. These standards must focus on patient safety during pregnancy, childbirth, and postpartum care, aiming to reduce adverse outcomes and health disparities. Hospitals must comply with these standards as a condition of their license, and the Department must update them based on national best practices from initiatives like the Alliance for Innovation on Maternal Health. The law takes effect 365 days after enactment.
