Autism bill signed into law in NJ

A new law amends NJ's existing discrimination law to recognize autism disorders, thanks to the efforts of lawmakers, including Senators Kean and Vitale, who were the prime co-sponsors.

Autistic residents will now receive the same protections as other disabled citizens from discrimination in access to housing, employment and public accommodations such as theaters, stores and restaurants,” Senator Kean said.
