A 2588 New Jersey General Assembly · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Requires child care centers to be equipped with epinephrine.

This bill requires all licensed child care centers in New Jersey to maintain an appropriate supply of epinephrine auto-injector devices (like EpiPens) and ensure at least one staff member is trained to administer them during operating hours. It directly affects licensed child care centers operating under New Jersey's child care licensing laws (P.L.1983, c.492). The key provisions mandate the equipment and training, with the Commissioner of Health allowed to create implementing rules. The bill takes immediate effect upon enactment but is currently pending before the Assembly Health Committee.
