New Jersey: AI health lawsYour state
8 entries on the map: 5 in force and 3 bills in the legislature.
New Jersey reaches physicians through civil rights and privacy law, not AI-specific statutes.
Full overviewHide full overview
Civil rights guidance of Jan. 9, 2025, says a practice whose AI triage, risk-scoring or treatment tool produces discriminatory outcomes can face a discrimination complaint; it creates no new duty. The New Jersey Data Privacy Act, since Jan. 15, 2025, exempts protected health information but not practices; one above its thresholds needs consent to process other health condition data, and since June 30, 2026, A5328 has barred businesses of any size from selling such data. A1255, since Jan. 1, 2025, puts prior authorization denials under a licensed medical director's clinical direction, with same-specialty appeal review; it does not mention AI. A February 2025 insurance bulletin expects insurers to keep a written AI program. Three bills sit in committee: A4731, a generative AI policy the State Board of Medical Examiners would adopt; A4733, barring ads that generative AI can practice medicine; and S735, barring advertising AI as a licensed mental health professional.
