     SENATE COMMERCE COMMITTEE

                    STATEMENT TO

                   SENATE, No. 760

 STATE OF NEW JERSEY
                   DATED: FEBRUARY 10, 2022

    The Senate Commerce Committee reports favorably Senate Bill
No. 760.
   This bill would amend the “New Jersey Health Care Consumer
Information Act,” P.L.2003, c.96 (C.45:9-22.21 et seq.) by requiring
the Division of Consumer Affairs to develop and maintain publicly-
accessible profiles of all health care professionals licensed by the
division. Currently, only physicians, podiatrists, and optometrists have
such profiles. The bill would incorporate, as applicable, these health
care professions into the current statute.
   The bill would also expand the information collected for a profile
on a health care professional to include: 1) restrictions placed on
health care professionals in New Jersey-based or out-of-State facilities;
2) any Medicare or Medicaid exclusions; 3) any actions taken by
federal regulators such as the U.S. Food and Drug Administration or
Drug Enforcement Agency; and 4) any other information required
pursuant to regulation from the Division of Consumer Affairs.
   The bill would also require the division to post on the website it
maintains for the License Verification System a disclaimer that the
verification system only contains information on the license status of
health care professionals and that extensive background information
on New Jersey-licensed health care professionals is available at the
website maintained by the division under the requirements of the
“New Jersey Health Care Consumer Information Act,” P.L.2003, c.96
(C.45:9-22.21 et seq.).
   Lastly, the bill would establish an effective date of the first day of
the thirteenth month next following enactment.
   This bill was pre-filed for introduction in the 2022-2023 session
pending technical review. As reported, the bill includes the changes
required by technical review, which has been performed.
