Bill Summary
This bill requires each crisis pregnancy center (center) operating in the State to disclose, that the center is not a licensed health care facility and whether the center employs a physician to supervise the pregnancy-related services in-person at the center. Under the bill, each center is required to conspicuously post signage with the disclosures, in English and Spanish, in the waiting area, in each examination room, and in each room used to discuss or provide information to clients about pregnancy-related services, signage which discloses certain information about the center. Additionally, a center that makes, publishes, disseminates, circulates, or places before the public, or causes, directly or indirectly, to be made, published, disseminated, circulated, or placed before the public, in a newspaper, magazine, or other publication, or in the form of a notice, circular, pamphlet, letter, or poster, or over any radio station, or via the Internet, or in any other way, an advertisement, announcement, or statement, is required to conspicuously state the disclosures, in English and Spanish, via such medium. A center that violates the provisions of the bill is subject to all remedies and penalties available pursuant to the Consumer Fraud Act (N.J.S.A.56:8-1 et seq.). In addition, the bill provides that if a center is about to engage in, is continuing to engage in, or has engaged in conduct which is in violation of the bill, or if it is in the public interest, the Attorney General has the authority to obtain summary action in the Superior Court to take whatever remedial steps necessary to correct the deceptive, false, or misleading advertising or statements on any client seeking pregnancy-related services, including, but not limited to, an injunction prohibiting the crisis pregnancy center from advertising, providing pregnancy-related services, or operating.
AI Summary
This bill requires crisis pregnancy centers, which are facilities run by non-profit organizations offering counseling and referrals for pregnancy and childbirth but not abortions or other medical services, to clearly disclose two key pieces of information in both English and Spanish. First, they must state that they are not licensed health care facilities, meaning they are not regulated in the same way as medical clinics. Second, they must disclose whether they employ a physician to oversee any pregnancy-related services offered in person at their center. These disclosures must be prominently displayed as signage in waiting areas, examination rooms, and rooms where clients receive information about pregnancy services. Furthermore, any advertisements or public statements made by these centers, whether in print, online, or through other media, must also include these disclosures. Violations of this bill can lead to penalties under the Consumer Fraud Act, and the Attorney General has the authority to take legal action, including seeking injunctions, to stop deceptive practices and protect individuals seeking pregnancy-related services.
