S 3223 New Jersey Senate · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Permits greater diversity in creation of new health sharing ministries and establishes and exempts certain mandates and reporting requirements.

New Jersey's S 3223 removes the requirement that health sharing ministries must have operated continuously since December 31, 1999, allowing new organizations to form. It exempts members of these ministries from the state's health insurance mandate, meaning they no longer need to maintain coverage or pay related taxes. The bill requires ministries operating in New Jersey to publicly report detailed data - including participant numbers, fees collected, reimbursement rates, and denials - via their websites. Non-compliant ministries face penalties such as fines or legal action initiated by the Director of Consumer Affairs.
