This bill mandates that four-year public institutions of higher education in New Jersey create and implement a comprehensive reproductive health services plan. The plan must include on-campus services provided by health care professionals or referrals to off-campus services for obtaining various forms of contraception, including emergency contraception, as well as services for preventing, testing for, and treating sexually transmitted infections, prenatal care, and abortion. Additionally, the plan should ensure 24-hour access to over-the-counter contraception through student health centers or vending machines, provide evidence-based reproductive health education, and establish a referral network of verified health care professionals and pharmacies in the local area.

Furthermore, county colleges are required to develop a similar referral network for off-campus reproductive health care services. The Secretary of Higher Education, along with the Commissioner of Health and the Commissioner of Human Services, will provide guidelines to assist both four-year institutions and county colleges in fulfilling these requirements. Importantly, the bill clarifies that it does not obligate public institutions to directly provide reproductive health care services, including abortion.
