Requires certain hospitals to establish bereavement areas.

This bill requires all general hospitals licensed in New Jersey to create at least one private bereavement area within their facilities. The designated space must be available for family members who receive distressing news about a loved one being treated at the hospital, including news of death. The Commissioner of Health will enforce this requirement, which takes effect 180 days after the bill is signed into law. It directly affects hospitals under New Jersey's health licensing regulations (P.L.1971, c.136) and provides a private, supportive environment for families during difficult moments.
