SYNOPSIS

���� Establishes reproductive health travel advisory. 

CURRENT VERSION OF TEXT 

���� As reported by the Assembly Community Development and 
Women's Affairs Committee on March 9, 2026, with amendments.

�� 

An Act concerning 
the establishment of a reproductive health travel advisory and supplementing 
P.L.2021, c.375 1[(C.10:7-1 et 
al.)]1. 

���� Be It 
Enacted by the Senate and General Assembly of 
the State of New Jersey:

���� 1.� The Legislature finds and 
declares that: 

���� a.� While many pregnancies are 
safe and uneventful, there is always some risk that a pregnancy will 
unexpectedly result in a medical emergency endangering the life or health of 
the patient. 

���� b.� The effective treatment of 
such emergencies sometimes requires termination of the pregnancy.� 

���� c.� The level and type of risk 
for each patient varies with the duration of the pregnancy, and with a 
patient�s underlying medical condition.

���� d.� In the states that limit 
reproductive health care services, it is unclear to what extent necessary 
medical treatment for pregnancy-related emergencies will be permitted.

���� e.� There is therefore a need 
to create an advisory that will inform New Jersey residents of the extent to 
which states within the United States limit reproductive health care services 
so that they may make informed travel decisions while pregnant.� 

����� 2.�� a.� 
The New Jersey Department of State shall establish the �New Jersey Reproductive 
Health Travel Advisory.�� The travel advisory shall inform New Jersey residents 
of the extent to which states within the United States restrict access to 
reproductive 1[healthcare] health care1 services.

����� b.� 
The travel advisory shall provide a description of each state in the United 
States with respect to reproductive 1[healthcare] health care1 services including1,1 but not limited to, gestational duration bans, 
waiting periods, insurance coverage bans, medication restrictions, 
constitutional protections, funding available to patients for reproductive 
health care services, and criminal and civil liability for patients and 
healthcare providers.� The travel advisory shall provide the information 
according to the following tiered system: 

����� (1)� �Blue: 
Exercise normal caution,� which signifies that pregnant individuals have access 
to all forms of reproductive 1[medical] health1 care without fear of civil or criminal prosecution; 

����� (2)� 
�Yellow: Exercise increased caution,� which signifies that pregnant individuals 
have restricted access to reproductive 1[medical] health1 care that could result in civil or criminal prosecution; and

����� (3)� 
�Red: Reconsider travel,� which signifies that pregnant individuals have 
extremely restricted access to reproductive 1[medical] health1 care that could result in an adverse medical outcome, pregnant 
individuals being subject to civil or criminal prosecution, and individuals 
seeking emergency reproductive 1[medical] health1 care not being provided life-saving care due to state law.� 

����� c.� 
The Department of State shall publish the travel advisory in a prominent 
location on its Internet website and update the advisory for each state every 
time a state experiences a change in its law, rules, or regulations concerning 
reproductive 1[healthcare] health care1 services. 

���� 3.� This act shall take effect 
immediately.
