The bill establishes the "Kidney Disease Prevention and Education Task Force" within the New Jersey Department of Health to address the significant public health issue of chronic kidney disease (CKD). The task force aims to develop a public awareness campaign focused on the early detection and treatment of CKD, examine racial disparities in CKD rates and kidney transplants, and recommend a cost-effective plan for statewide screening and treatment. The task force will consist of 11 members, including legislative representatives, health officials, and public members with relevant expertise or experience, such as nephrologists and individuals living with CKD.

Additionally, the bill highlights the alarming statistics surrounding CKD, including its prevalence and the disproportionate impact on African-American and Hispanic populations. It emphasizes the importance of early detection and management to prevent progression to kidney failure and associated complications. The task force is required to present its findings and recommendations to the Governor and the Legislature within two years of its formation, after which it will dissolve 30 days following the issuance of its report.
