A 4305 New Jersey General Assembly · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Establishes "Reproductive Health Access for Haitian Migrants Act."

This bill, if enacted, would require New Jersey's Department of Health to provide Haitian migrants in the state with free access to a range of contraceptives - including intrauterine devices, birth control pills, and Depo-Provera injections - through partnerships with community health clinics and migrant support organizations. It mandates that services include comprehensive reproductive health education and counseling to support informed choices. The Department must develop implementation guidelines within 120 days and submit annual reports detailing outreach efforts, usage statistics, and any barriers Haitian migrants face in accessing these services. The law directly affects Haitian migrants residing in New Jersey by removing cost barriers to specific contraceptive options.
