The bill establishes the Reproductive Health Care Access Fund in New Jersey to enhance access to reproductive health care services, particularly focusing on abortion providers. It recognizes the existing gaps in availability, especially in southern counties, and aims to support the sustainability of abortion providers through various programs. The fund will be allocated for three main initiatives: the Reproductive Health Care Clinical Training Program, the Reproductive Health Care Security Grant Program, and the Reproductive Health Care Facility Loan Program. Each program is designed to address specific needs, such as training health care professionals, providing security grants to facilities at risk of unlawful activities, and offering loans to support the establishment or renovation of reproductive health care facilities.

Additionally, the bill mandates the Department of Health to conduct a statewide needs assessment to identify gaps in access to reproductive health care services and the impact of out-of-state restrictions. It also appropriates funds from the General Fund to support the Reproductive Health Care Access Fund, with specific allocations for the Clinical Training Program and Security Grant Program in the FY 2024 budget. The bill emphasizes the importance of ensuring safe access to reproductive health care services and the need for adequate training and security measures for health care providers.
