The bill establishes the New Jersey Center for Black Excellence in Health at Rutgers University, aimed at enhancing public health programs and services for Black communities and people of color. The center's objectives include researching and disseminating evidence-based health care models, fostering collaborative partnerships to improve the state's public health system, and recommending systemic changes to eliminate health disparities in historically underserved communities.

To support these initiatives, the center will form a 12-member steering committee, co-chaired by the President of Rutgers University and the Commissioner of Health, which will include representatives from various state departments, health organizations, and advocacy groups. The center is authorized to apply for grants and other funding sources to support its operations and may enter into contracts with public or private entities to further its goals. The bill is set to take effect immediately upon passage.
