This bill establishes the dissemination of misinformation or disinformation by health care professionals as a form of professional misconduct, subjecting violators to disciplinary action under existing laws. It aims to combat health misinformation and protect the health and safety of New Jersey residents. The bill outlines that each professional licensing board will create rules to define the grounds for misconduct and the corresponding disciplinary measures based on the severity of the misinformation disseminated.

Key definitions are provided within the bill, including "disseminate," which refers to the conveyance of information from a health care professional to a patient, and "misinformation," defined as any health-related claim that is false and contradicts contemporary scientific consensus. "Disinformation" is specified as misinformation shared with malicious intent or to mislead. The act is set to take effect immediately upon passage.
