Bill > A5042

Introduced Session

This bill amends P.L.2004, c.138 to prohibit the automatic registration of individuals into the New Jersey Immunization Information System. Under current law, newborn infants in New Jersey, who are born on or after January 1, 1998, are automatically enrolled into the New Jersey Immunization Information System, unless the parent or legal guardian of the infant provides a written request to not participate in the registry. This bill amends current law to instead provide that infants born on or after the effective date of this bill can only be enrolled into the registry upon the written request of the parent or legal guardian. The bill provides that, in general, an individual may only be enrolled in the registry upon the written request of the individual or the individual's parent or legal guardian, in case of an individual who is younger than 18 years or age, notwithstanding any law, rule, or regulation to the contrary.
