New Jersey S2006 requires certain health care providers to conduct intimate partner violence screenings for patients. These screenings must be performed in a private area, potentially using telemedicine or self-administered tools.

Additionally, the bill mandates that health care professionals prevent perpetrators from obtaining copies of the victim's medical records.
