S 3556 New Jersey Senate · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Establishes "Reproductive Health Access for Haitian Migrants Act."

S 3556, the "Reproductive Health Access for Haitian Migrants Act," requires New Jersey's Department of Health to provide Haitian migrants in the state with free access to specific contraceptives - including IUDs, birth control pills, and Depo-Provera injections - along with reproductive health education and counseling. The bill mandates that community health clinics and migrant support organizations collaborate with the Department of Health to remove cost barriers to these services. Within 120 days of the bill's effective date, the Department must develop implementation guidelines and submit annual reports tracking outreach, usage, and access barriers. This policy directly affects Haitian migrants in New Jersey by expanding their access to reproductive health resources.
