This bill mandates the establishment of a voluntary central registry for senior citizens in New Jersey by the Division of Aging Services within the Department of Human Services. The registry aims to compile statistical data on the senior population and facilitate wellness check calls during emergencies, as well as provide information on available services and programs. Individuals aged 65 and older can apply for inclusion in the registry by providing personal information such as their name, date of birth, address, income level, and contact details. The division will also receive death record notifications to keep the registry updated.

Additionally, the bill outlines the process for individuals to request the removal of their information from the registry, which will not be executed until 21 days after the request is made. The Commissioner of Human Services is tasked with ensuring the confidentiality of the information collected, which will not be considered a public record. To promote awareness of the registry, the division will conduct a statewide public awareness campaign in both English and Spanish targeting individuals aged 64 and older. The bill will take effect 90 days after enactment, with provisions for anticipatory administrative actions.
