New Bill to Protect Reproductive Health Care Services
7/1/2026
On May 28, 2026, the New Jersey Senate approved Bill S2260, which would strengthen protections for those seeking reproductive health care services and the providers offering such services. The Bill provides that reproductive health care activities include services related to pregnancy, assisted reproductive technology, contraception, miscarriage management, abortion, and certain gender or affirming care. The Bill would make it illegal for anyone (i) to interfere with reproductive or gender or affirming services; (ii) to knowingly restrict access to care or intimidate patients or providers; and (iii) to physically obstruct, injure, or cause property damage. In addition, the Bill would shield providers from professional discipline, insurance retaliation, and out-of-state legal actions that seek to punish lawful conduct related to reproductive health care activity in New Jersey. Currently, the Bill is awaiting a full New Jersey Assembly vote.
