AI Summary

  • New Jersey Department of State would establish a "Reproductive Health Travel Advisory" to inform residents about reproductive healthcare restrictions in other U.S. states before traveling while pregnant.

  • The advisory would use a three-tier color-coded system: Blue (exercise normal caution), Yellow (exercise increased caution with restricted access and potential prosecution risk), and Red (reconsider travel due to extremely restricted access and potential adverse medical outcomes).

  • State-by-state descriptions would cover gestational duration bans, waiting periods, insurance coverage bans, medication restrictions, constitutional protections, available patient funding, and criminal/civil liability for patients and providers.

  • The Department of State must publish the advisory prominently on its website and update it whenever any state changes its laws, rules, or regulations concerning reproductive healthcare services.

  • The bill takes effect immediately upon enactment and supplements existing law under P.L.2021, c.375.
