A 4440 New Jersey General Assembly · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Requires various State departments to provide linkages to information on "baby boxes" and safe sleep education on their websites.

This bill requires New Jersey's Department of Children and Families (DCF) and other relevant state departments (Health, Human Services, Education) to post links and make available online information about "baby boxes" and safe sleep education on their websites. A "baby box" is defined as a durable cardboard box filled with essential newborn items (like diapers and wipes) and safe sleep resources, meeting U.S. safety standards. Departments must ensure the information is easily printable, prominently linked, and regularly updated. The bill directly affects expecting and new parents by improving access to this free program, which partners with The Baby Box Company to provide boxes after completing an online parenting course.
