Requires certain health care facilities to develop certain doula policies and procedures.

Maddy summaryThis bill requires hospitals and licensed birthing centers offering maternity services in New Jersey to create and maintain written policies allowing patients to choose their own doula for support before, during, and after childbirth. Facilities must share these policies with healthcare providers, patients, and post a summary visibly in patient rooms and on their website within 180 days of the law taking effect. Each facility must also designate a staff liaison to connect with doulas and organizations regarding these policies. The law directly affects maternity care facilities and patients seeking doula support during childbirth.

Requires Commissioner of Human Services to request authorization for SNAP benefits to be used to pay delivery charges for online grocery purchases.

Maddy summaryThis bill (A-2040) requires New Jersey's Human Services Commissioner to request that the federal USDA allow SNAP (food stamp) benefits to cover delivery fees for online grocery orders. It directly affects low-income households in New Jersey who receive SNAP benefits and shop online through authorized retailers like Amazon, Walmart, ShopRite, and The Fresh Grocers. The key provision changes how SNAP funds can be used - permitting them to pay delivery charges for SNAP-eligible groceries, which was previously prohibited under federal rules. The bill was enacted into law (P.L.2023, c.236) after passing both legislative chambers unanimously.

Permits excused absences for students who attend civic events.

Maddy summaryThis bill (A1271) allows public school students in grades 6-12 to have one excused absence per school year to attend approved civic events. It defines "civic events" as those sponsored by government, community organizations, or nonprofits addressing public concerns like health, safety, or environmental issues.

The law specifies that transcripts and attendance records must not list these absences as excused.
