NJ Rev Stat § 26:1A-36.2 (2021)
2021 New Jersey Revised Statutes|Title 26 - Health and Vital Statistics|Section 26:1A-36.2 - Findings, declarations

26:1A-36.2. Findings, declarations  The Legislature finds and declares that:  a. The federal "WIC" program provides nutritious foods to low-income pregnant and lactating women and infants and children up to five years of age who are determined to be at special nutritional risk because of poor health or inadequate nutrition, or both;  b. The federal "WIC" program is essential to the well-being of all eligible persons, and these persons should receive the benefits of the program;  c. The Department of Health has limited participation in the "WIC" program and did not spend all of the federal moneys available for the program to ensure that the program did not overspend its federal allotment, because the federal government requires that any WIC program funds not spent during the federal fiscal year in which they are appropriated be returned to the federal government, and because there are currently no State funds provided to support the WIC program in New Jersey;  d. If a contingency fund was established, the State would be able to ensure that program benefits are provided to all eligible women, infants and children; and  e. It is therefore, in the interest of the State to establish a contingency fund for the "WIC" program in order to provide a stable, nutritional food program for all eligible women, infants, and children with nutritious foods.  L. 1987, c. 261, s. 2.

26:1A-36.3. Special fund established  There is established in the General Fund the "Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Contingency Fund" as a special fund. The State Treasurer shall credit the fund with all moneys appropriated thereto or otherwise made available, and all interest received from the investment of moneys in the fund. All moneys in the fund are appropriated to effectuate the purposes of this act, and any unexpended balances in the fund at the end of a fiscal year shall be appropriated to the credit of the fund. Moneys in the fund shall be available as a contingency reserve to ensure that underenrollment of persons otherwise eligible for supplemental foods under the special supplemental food program for women, infants and children (WIC) established pursuant to Pub.L. 95-267 (42 U.S.C. s. 1786) does not occur due to a concern of overspending federal funds available for that program. Moneys in the fund shall not be available to expand or augment program services and shall not be expended for the administrative costs of the program.  L. 1987, c. 261, s. 3.

The Director of the Division of Budget and Accounting shall review the commissioner's determination and if the director shall agree, he shall make such sums available to the Department of Health as in his opinion are required based on his review of the commissioner's determination.

2021 New Jersey Revised Statutes|Title 26 - Health and Vital Statistics|Section 26:1A-36.6 - Findings, declarations

26:1A-36.6. Findings, declarations  1. The Legislature finds and declares that: a. It is in the best interests of the State to provide a comprehensive system of early intervention services to support infants and toddlers with disabilities, those at risk for disability, and their families, that is built on existing social networks, and naturally occurring supports such as community associations and extended families which promote the inclusion of the child and the family within the community;  b. Infants and toddlers with disabilities are uniquely dependent on their families for survival and nurturance, and while service systems and the personnel within those systems may fluctuate, a family is the only common thread in a child's life;  c. There is an urgent need to enhance the development of infants and toddlers with disabilities to minimize their potential for developmental delay and to enhance the capacity for families to meet the needs of these infants and toddlers;  d. There is also a need to reduce the education costs to our society, reduce costs associated with reliance on social services, minimize the likelihood of institutionalization, reduce health care costs and improve the long-term health and potential for future employability and independence of infants and toddlers with disabilities;  e. No one agency or discipline can meet the complex needs of infants with disabilities and their families, and services to infants and toddlers with disabilities must be comprehensive and multi-disciplinary and must be coordinated so as to assure access and assist families in obtaining needed information and encouraging advocacy on their behalf; and  f. Services and strategies to assist and support families must respect autonomy, interdependence and decision-making in a way which reflects the unique racial, ethnic, cultural and social-economic experiences and background of a family.

2021 New Jersey Revised Statutes|Title 26 - Health and Vital Statistics|Section 26:1A-36.9 - Findings, declarations, "off-label" drugs

26:1A-36.9. Findings, declarations, "off-label" drugs  1. The Legislature finds and declares that: a. Many citizens of this State rely upon health insurance to cover the cost of obtaining health care.  b. It is essential that the citizens' expectation that their health care costs will be paid by their insurance policies is not disappointed and that they obtain the coverage necessary and appropriate for their care within the terms of their insurance policies.  c. Currently, some insurers deny payment for drugs that have been approved by the Federal Food and Drug Administration (FDA) when the drugs are prescribed for treatments other than those stated in the labelling approved by the FDA ("off-label" use) while other insurers providing similar coverage terms do pay for "off-label" use.  d. Denial of payment for "off-label" use can interrupt or effectively deny access to necessary and appropriate treatment for a person being treated for a life-threatening illness.  e. "Off-label" use of an FDA-approved drug is legal when prescribed in a medically appropriate way and is often necessary to provide needed care. Approximately 50 percent of cancer patients receive some type of "off label" drug in their treatment. The FDA and the federal Department of Health and Human Services recognize the wide variety of effective "off-label" uses of FDA-approved drugs. Information on the appropriate "off-label" use of FDA-approved drugs is obtained from compendia published by the United States Pharmacopoeial Convention, the American Medical Association, and the American Society of Hospital Pharmacists. In addition, scientific studies of "off-label" use of drugs published in recognized peer-reviewed professional journals provide information on appropriate uses of "off-label" drugs.  f. The "Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1990," Pub. L. 101-508, requires Medicaid agencies to pay for "off-label" use of drugs prescribed for Medicaid patients if the use is stated in any of the three compendia or peer-reviewed literature; thereby providing recognition of the three compendia and peer-reviewed literature as appropriate sources for reimbursement.  g. "Off-label" use of FDA-approved drugs provides efficacious drugs at a lower cost. To require that all appropriate uses of a drug undergo approval by the FDA may substantially increase the cost of drugs and delay or even deny patients' ability to obtain medically effective treatment. FDA approval for each use would require substantial expenditure and time to undergo the clinical trials necessary to obtain FDA approval.  h. Reimbursement for "off-label" uses of FDA-approved drugs is necessary to conform to the way in which appropriate medical treatment is provided, to make needed drugs available to patients, and may help to contain health care costs.
