A 1711 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Requires school districts to provide instruction on risks of compulsive gambling as part of implementation of New Jersey Student Learning Standards in Comprehensive Health and Physical Education.

This bill requires New Jersey public school districts serving grades 9-12 to include instruction on the risks of compulsive gambling within their Comprehensive Health and Physical Education curriculum. The instruction must cover gambling addiction dangers, financial risks of gambling, and probability concepts. The state education commissioner must provide schools with sample lesson materials and develop mandatory teacher training on identifying gambling issues and treatment resources. Implementation is delayed until the school year following the next state curriculum review, not immediately. The bill directly affects all high school students and school districts in New Jersey.
