S 3000 New Jersey Senate · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Codifies and extends authorization for certain out-of-State health care practitioners and recent graduates of health care training programs to practice in New Jersey.

This bill codifies and extends temporary authorization for out-of-state healthcare practitioners and recent graduates to practice in New Jersey. It specifically clarifies and extends "provisional authorization to practice" and "temporary graduate licenses" for professions like physicians, nurses, counselors, and therapists while they await full state licensure. The bill maintains existing requirements that practitioners must be licensed in their home state, comply with New Jersey regulations, and carry liability insurance. It directly affects healthcare professionals from other states seeking temporary practice opportunities in New Jersey, particularly those recently graduated from training programs.
