A 1349 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Prohibits mandatory mask use at youth camps.

This bill prohibits mandatory mask-wearing for staff, volunteers, and attendees at youth camps in New Jersey. It specifically states no person working at, volunteering at, or attending such camps may be required to wear a mask on camp premises, though individuals may still choose to wear masks voluntarily. The law defines "youth camp" according to existing state law (P.L.1973, c.375) and takes effect immediately upon enactment, with an expiration date of December 31, 2022. This policy change directly affects youth camp operations and participants, removing a requirement for mask use during camp activities.
