Concerns health care services provided to incarcerated individuals.

Summary

The bill removes any cost or nominal fee that prisoners in New Jersey state prisons or county jails must pay for medical, dental, surgical, hospital, or prescription services. It also requires the state or county to seek reimbursement from an inmate’s health‑insurance plan for those expenses. The goal is to guarantee care for all incarcerated people while shifting the financial burden to insurers.
