Establishes task force to study and make recommendations concerning health care service needs of the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgendered, and queer or questioning individuals, and persons with intersex conditions in the State.
This bill establishes a nine-member task force within New Jersey's Department of Health to study health care access barriers faced by LGBTQI residents (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer/questioning, and intersex individuals). The task force will examine current policies, health care resources, medical training, and barriers like discrimination or lack of insurance coverage. It must make recommendations to improve health care quality and accessibility for this community within one year. The bill directly affects LGBTQI New Jersey residents by addressing documented health disparities they experience.
