The "New Jersey Intern Protection Act"; provides legal protections and remedies for persons engaged in internships with employers.

The New Jersey Intern Protection Act (A1623) extends legal protections to interns by adding them to existing anti-discrimination and anti-retaliation laws. It defines an intern as anyone performing temporary work that provides training or experience under supervision, regardless of whether they're paid. The bill ensures interns cannot be discriminated against based on characteristics like race, gender identity, sexual orientation, or disability, and cannot face retaliation for reporting workplace violations. This expands protections from the Law Against Discrimination, Conscientious Employee Protection Act, and Worker Freedom From Employer Intimidation Act to cover interns. Employers must post notices about intern rights and provide remedies including reinstatement, back pay, and attorney's fees for violations.
