NJ Rev Stat § 26:10-19 (2021)
2021 New Jersey Revised Statutes|Title 26 - Health and Vital Statistics|Section 26:10-19 - Findings, declarations relative to used mattresses, box springs.

26:10-19 Findings, declarations relative to used mattresses, box springs.  1. The Legislature finds and declares that: a. Bedbugs are small insects with flat bodies, antennae and small eyes; adult bedbugs are oval, wingless and rusty-red in color and are visible to the naked eye, and often hide in cracks and crevices; in homes, bedbugs are commonly found in areas where people sleep, concentrating in mattresses, box springs, and bed frames; bedbugs feed primarily on the blood of humans, usually at night when people are sleeping; b. According to a joint statement issued by the United States Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the United States Environmental Protection Agency, bedbugs have been common throughout United States history; although bedbug populations dropped dramatically during the mid-20th century, the United States is one of many countries now experiencing an alarming resurgence in the population of bedbugs, and public health agencies across the country have been overwhelmed by complaints about bedbugs; c. According to the New Jersey Department of Health, in most cases, bedbugs are transported from infested areas to non-infested areas when they cling onto a person's clothing, or crawl into luggage, furniture, or bedding that is then brought into the home; if a mattress is contaminated with bedbugs, it is easy for bedbugs to spread to non-contaminated items that are within close proximity; d. Although bedbugs are not known to transmit disease, they are considered to be an extreme nuisance to the general public and can cause a variety of negative physical and mental health concerns and economic consequences; and e. To help curtail widespread infestation of bedbugs, it is necessary to take measures to prevent cross-contamination of bedbugs from used mattresses and box springs to other furniture or bedding.

2021 New Jersey Revised Statutes|Title 26 - Health and Vital Statistics|Section 26:12-18 - Findings, declarations relative to emergency epinephrine administration at youth camps.

26:12-18 Findings, declarations relative to emergency epinephrine administration at youth camps.  2. The Legislature finds and declares that: a. Insect and food allergies are the leading cause of anaphylaxis, a life-threatening condition that is easily treatable with epinephrine, a medication only available via prescription; b. Individuals who are known to be at risk of anaphylaxis may carry emergency doses of epinephrine with them at all times. However, many individuals may not be aware of their allergy and therefore do not carry epinephrine medication; c. New Jersey's youth camps offer a broad array of outdoor educational and recreational opportunities to youth campers, which may expose campers and staff members to various different kinds of insects and foods for the first time;  d. Youth camps are often located in remote settings where medical professionals or first responders are not available to provide emergency care for anaphylaxis; e. The State of New Jersey, at P.L.1997, c.368 (C.18A:40-12.5 et seq.) and P.L.2013, c.211 (C.18A:61D-11 et seq.), has already recognized the value of training non-medical professionals to administer this life-saving drug in K-12 educational settings and institutions of higher education when a medical professional is not physically present at the scene; and f. It is prudent to similarly provide youth camp staff members, who are responsible for the safety of one or more campers, with the tools necessary to respond to emergency anaphylaxis situations, particularly where exposure to unfamiliar insects or foods is likely, and where assistance from medical professionals and first responders is not readily available. L.2015, c.231, s.2.
