Requires certain hospitals to establish bereavement areas.

This bill requires all general hospitals in New Jersey to create at least one private bereavement room. The rooms must be available for family members who receive upsetting news about a loved one receiving treatment, including news of death. The Commissioner of Health will enforce this requirement, mandating hospitals to designate and maintain these spaces. The law takes effect 180 days after enactment. It directly affects hospitals and families receiving critical health updates during hospital stays.
