A 4314 New Jersey General Assembly · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Addresses long-term effects of COVID-19.

New Jersey's Assembly Bill A4314 establishes free post-COVID-19 health clinics for individuals previously diagnosed with the virus, providing physical and mental health evaluations, therapy, and related services at no cost. It mandates the state health department to create public awareness campaigns about long-term health effects, distribute educational materials in healthcare facilities, and train medical professionals on recognizing and addressing these effects. A new task force will specifically study how long-term health impacts disproportionately affect racial and ethnic minorities in the state. The bill expires one year after the end of New Jersey's official public health emergency for COVID-19.
