What's New

• LEGISLATURE APPROVES EPILEPSY TASK FORCE. It was 3:20 a.m. June 29 when the bleary-eyed State Assembly voted 7-6 to create New Jersey Epilepsy Task Force in the Department of Health and Senior Services. Hours earlier, before hours of contentious debate on the state budget, the State Senate had voted 40-0 for the same measure. Now the bill goes to Gov. Christie. The 11-member task force would include the Commissioners of Health and Senior Services and Human Services and nine public members to be appointed by the Governor. The Task Force would have 12 months to report back to the Governor after the first meeting. The bill was sponsored by Sen. Fred Madden and Assemblyman Herb Conaway. The Task Force is expected to develop ideas on screening, diagnosis and treatment of epilepsy as well as discuss psychosocial issues and stigma.
