ACR 107 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Proposes Children's Outdoor Bill of Rights.

ACR 107 is a concurrent resolution (not a law) expressing New Jersey's legislative support for a "Children's Outdoor Bill of Rights." It lists specific outdoor activities children should have opportunities to experience, such as exploring woods, building forts, playing in mud, planting gardens, and observing nature. The resolution directs copies to the Governor, the Commissioner of Environmental Protection, and the Commissioner of Children and Families for their awareness and consideration. It does not create new legal requirements but formally encourages state agencies to recognize the importance of outdoor experiences for children's well-being.
