AI Summary

This bill requires the New Jersey Department of Health (DOH) to conduct a study on the racial aspects of ovarian cancer.

The DOH commissioner must submit a report with the study's findings and recommendations to address the impact of racial disparities on ovarian cancer rates among racial and ethnic minorities within one year after the bill's enactment.
