New Jersey A160 mandates medical testing for individuals potentially exposed to bloodborne pathogens by first responders.

New Jersey A160 requires medical testing for individuals when first responders, including law enforcement, firefighters, and emergency medical personnel, may have been exposed to bloodborne pathogens. If a first responder suspects exposure, they must notify the local public health officer within 24 hours. The public health officer then seeks voluntary consent for testing. If consent is not given within 24 hours, the officer files an emergency application for a court order requiring the person to submit to testing.
