New Jersey: Out of Kids’ Hands
Legislative Update
During the 2024-2025 legislative session, A1848 passed the New Jersey Assembly and was referred to the Senate Health, Human Services and Senior Citizens Committee, where it did not receive further action. S3987 was also referred to the Senate Health, Human Services and Senior Citizens Committee but did not advance before the session ended.
New legislation would need to be introduced in the 2026-2027 legislative session to continue these efforts.
