Summary

A Senate Commerce Committee statement to the Senate on Senate Bill No. 2311, State of New Jersey, dated June 10, 2024, reporting the bill favorably. The bill changes the definition of "health care professional" in the law on criminal history background checks to include individuals seeking licensure from the State Board of Applied Behavior Analyst Examiners, the State Board of Creative Arts and Activities Therapies, or the State Board of Dietetics and Nutrition. Those individuals would have to undergo a criminal history background check before issuance of an initial license. The requisite board or the Division of Consumer Affairs could refuse to renew or revoke a license where criminal history record information provides grounds.
