1. As of Jan. 15, all contracts and payments between New Jersey clinicians and drugmakers are subject to a $10,000 annual cap. The rule includes payments for consulting and speaking engagements, but exempts research and education-related payments.
- Drug companies must also follow a $15 cap on meals with clinicians.
