Establishes a State Parkinson's disease registry and awareness campaign in New Jersey.
The bill mandates the establishment of a Statewide Parkinson's disease registry and a public awareness and education campaign. The Department of Health (DOH) will oversee the registry, collecting data on the incidence of Parkinson's disease and Parkinsonisms. Health care providers must report each unique case to the registry. Patients can opt out of the registry, in which case only the incidence of a Parkinson’s diagnosis will be reported. The registry information will be confidential and may only be disclosed under specific conditions.
