The proposed bill, known as the Alzheimer's Disease Public Awareness and Education Act, mandates the New Jersey Department of Human Services (DHS) to establish a public awareness campaign focused on Alzheimer's disease. The Commissioner of Human Services is tasked with creating an Alzheimer's disease public awareness and education program, which aims to enhance public understanding of the disease, its symptoms, and the importance of early detection and treatment options. The program will be funded through grants from various sources, including the federal government and medical organizations.

The bill outlines specific components of the program, including the development of a public campaign to educate the community about Alzheimer's disease, the creation of educational materials for healthcare providers, and training programs for judicial and emergency service personnel to help them recognize and respond to the needs of individuals with the disease. Additionally, the DHS is required to collaborate with the Greater New Jersey Chapter of the Alzheimer's Association to provide accessible information on its website in both English and Spanish. The act is set to take effect 180 days after enactment, allowing for necessary preparatory actions by the Commissioner of Human Services.
