新泽西州议会委员会于周一通过了一项民主党支持的法案，将对干扰跨性别医疗和生殖医疗服务获取的个人定罪。
议会拨款委员会以党派路线投票通过了该法案，为本周晚些时候州议会全院投票扫清了道路，随后该法案将提交给民主党州长米基·谢里尔签署。
若该法案获得通过，新泽西州将成为全美首个明确将此类干扰行为入刑的州。
该法案于2024年夏季首次提出，将设立“干扰生殖健康服务”的新刑事罪名，其中包括堕胎手术。据《新泽西观察家报》报道，该法案还将保护未成年人的跨性别医疗服务获取渠道，包括青春期阻断剂、激素治疗及相关心理健康治疗。

保护范围将覆盖从堕胎受限或非法地区前往新泽西州的个人。根据该提案，医疗服务提供者和医疗机构也将受到保护，该法案还将对源自州外的所谓干扰行为施加法律处罚。
“这项法案是为了保护医疗保健，而非政治辩论，也不是文化战的噱头，就是为了医疗保健，”该法案的发起人、来自埃塞克斯县的民主党参议员特雷莎·鲁伊斯此前曾对《新泽西观察家报》表示，“我们的执法人员不会执行另一个州的议程。”
据该媒体报道，共和党议员和反对者周一辩称，该法案可能会侵犯言论自由权利，进一步削弱父母权利，并实际上使新泽西州成为某些医疗服务提供者的“避难州”。

据该报报道，保守派倡导组织“花园州家庭中心”创始人兼负责人格雷戈里·昆兰表示，反堕胎活动人士仅仅因为在诊所外祈祷或进行他所称的“人行道咨询”就可能面临逮捕。
尽管遭到批评，鲁伊斯此前曾对《新泽西观察家报》表示，该法案“并未违反第一修正案权利”。
根据该法案，医疗实体和公职人员未经明确同意不得披露患者信息，进一步加强了隐私保护。

该法案还将把骚扰、伤害或阻碍个人获取或提供此类服务的行为定为四级犯罪，同时保护医疗服务提供者，使其不会被引渡到已将生殖或跨性别治疗入刑的州。
若违规者对接受此类服务的个人造成严重身体伤害，最高可被判处10年监禁和15万美元罚款。
除刑事处罚外，该提案还允许提起民事诉讼，并授权州总检察长对涉嫌违规者申请禁制令和经济处罚。

A New Jersey Assembly committee on Monday advanced a Democratic-backed bill that would criminalize individuals who interfere with access to transgender and reproductive health care.
The Assembly Appropriations Committee approved the measure along party lines, clearing the way for a potential full vote in the Legislature later this week before reaching Democratic Gov. Mikie Sherrill for her signature.
If enacted, the measure would make New Jersey the first state in the nation to explicitly criminalize such interference.
First introduced in the summer of 2024, the legislation would establish a new criminal offense for “interference with reproductive health services,” including abortion procedures. The New Jersey Monitor indicated that the measure would also protect access to transgender healthcare for minors, including puberty blockers, hormone therapy and related mental health treatments.

Protections would extend to individuals who travel to New Jersey from jurisdictions where abortion is restricted or illegal. Health care providers and facilities would also be shielded under the proposal, which includes legal penalties for alleged interference originating from outside the state.
“This bill is to protect healthcare. Not a political debate. Not a culture war talking point. Healthcare,” bill sponsor Sen. Teresa Ruiz, D-Essex, previously said, according to the New Jersey Monitor. “Our law enforcement will not carry out another state’s agenda.”
According to the outlet, Republican lawmakers and opponents argued Monday that the bill could infringe on free speech rights, further erode parental rights and effectively make New Jersey a “sanctuary state” for certain providers.

Gregory Quinlan, founder and leader of the conservative advocacy group Center for Garden State Families, said anti-abortion activists could face arrest simply for praying outside clinics or engaging in what he described as “sidewalk counseling” sessions, the outlet reported.
Despite the criticism, Ruiz has previously said the bill “is not a violation of First Amendment rights,” according to the New Jersey Monitor.
According to the bill, medical entities and public officials will be barred from disclosing patient information without explicit consent, further strengthening privacy protections.

The measure would also make it a fourth-degree crime to harass, harm or block individuals from accessing or providing such services, while extending protections to providers against extradition to states that have criminalized reproductive or transgender treatments.
Violators who inflict significant bodily injury on individuals who receive such services could face up to 10 years in prison and a fine of up to $150,000.
Beyond criminal penalties, the proposal would also allow for civil litigation and authorize the state attorney general to seek injunctions and financial penalties against alleged violators.
