Overview
This bill restricts the designation of new trauma centers in New Jersey. It prohibits a health care facility from being designated as a trauma center if it’s within 15 miles of an existing one. Furthermore, the Commissioner of Health must seek approval from a newly established State Trauma System Advisory Committee (STSAC) before requesting certificate of need applications for trauma center designation, and the request will not be approved if the committee advises against it. The bill also outlines the structure and responsibilities of the STSAC.
