The proposed bill, known as the Alzheimer's Disease Public Awareness and Education Act, mandates the New Jersey Department of Human Services (DHS) to establish a public awareness campaign focused on Alzheimer's disease. The Commissioner of Human Services is tasked with creating an Alzheimer's disease public awareness and education program, aimed at promoting understanding of the disease, its symptoms, and the importance of early detection and treatment options. The program will be funded through grants from various sources, including the federal government and medical organizations.

Key components of the program include the development of a public campaign to raise awareness about Alzheimer's disease, educational materials for local health boards, and training programs for judicial staff, law enforcement, and emergency service providers to help them recognize and respond to the needs of individuals with the disease. Additionally, the DHS will collaborate with the Greater New Jersey Chapter of the Alzheimer's Association to provide accessible information about Alzheimer's disease on its website in both English and Spanish. The bill emphasizes the need for increased public education to better support individuals affected by Alzheimer's and related disorders.
