A 2226 New Jersey General Assembly · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Establishes multiple sclerosis public awareness campaign.

This bill establishes a multiple sclerosis (MS) public awareness campaign within New Jersey's Department of Health. The campaign will provide accessible information to all New Jersey residents about MS, including its causes, symptoms, treatment options, and how it impacts quality of life. It requires the Department of Health to develop print and electronic materials (in English and Spanish) covering comprehensive MS descriptions, available educational resources, and strategies for managing the disease. The department must maintain this information on its website, updating it as new medical knowledge becomes available. The campaign directly serves people living with MS, their families, and the general public seeking accurate, up-to-date health information.
