NJ Rev Stat § 45:1-57 (2021)
2021 New Jersey Revised Statutes|Title 45 - Professions and Occupations|Section 45:1-57 - Findings, declarations relative to safe handling of hazardous drugs.

45:1-57 Findings, declarations relative to safe handling of hazardous drugs.  2. a. The Legislature finds and declares that: (1) Health care personnel who work with or near hazardous drugs in health care settings may be exposed to these agents in the air and through contact with work surfaces, clothing, medical equipment, and patients; (2) According to the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH), which is part of the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, early concerns about occupational exposure to anticancer drugs first appeared in the 1970s; (3) Antineoplastic and other hazardous drugs have been identified with a number of acute, short-term, and chronic effects, including skin rashes, infertility, miscarriage, birth defects, liver and kidney damage, damage to the bone marrow, damage to the heart and lungs, and various cancers; and (4) In 2004, NIOSH published an alert on preventing occupational exposures to antineoplastic drugs in health care settings. NIOSH urges that all hazardous drugs be universally handled according to standard precautions as outlined in the alert, which includes recommended procedures for assessing workplace hazards, handling hazardous drugs, and using and maintaining equipment, as well as a list of "drugs considered hazardous," which was updated in 2010, 2012, and 2014. b. The Legislature therefore determines that it is the public policy of the State to provide for the appropriate regulation of the handling of hazardous drugs consistent with the NIOSH alert, regardless of the setting in which health care is provided, in order to protect health care personnel from potentially harmful exposure to antineoplasic and other hazardous drugs. L.2017, c.69, s.2.

45:1-68 Findings, declarations relative to identification of health care professionals.  2. The Legislature finds and declares that: a. There are a multitude of professional degrees using the term "doctor," including "medical doctor" (M.D.); "doctor of osteopathy" (D.O.); "doctor of dental surgery" (D.D.S.); "doctor of medicine in dentistry" (D.M.D.); "doctor of podiatric medicine" (D.P.M.); "doctor of optometry" (O.D.); "doctor of chiropractic" (D.C.); "doctor of nursing" (D.N.); "doctor of psychology" (PhD);" and other designations which may be used by health care professionals. b. A July 2018 study by the American Medical Association found that 27 percent of patients erroneously believe that a chiropractor is a medical doctor; 39 percent of patients erroneously believe that a doctor of nursing practice is a medical doctor; 43 percent of patients erroneously believe that a psychologist is a medical doctor; 47 percent of patients erroneously believe that an optometrist is a medical doctor; and 67 percent of patients erroneously believe a podiatrist is a medical doctor. c.

There is a compelling State interest in patients being promptly and clearly informed of the training and qualifications of the health care professionals who provide health care services.  e. There is a compelling State interest in the public being protected from potentially misleading and deceptive health care advertising that might cause patients to have undue expectations regarding their treatment and outcome.
