S 1264 New Jersey Senate · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Provides that required instruction on sexual abuse and assault awareness and prevention in grades preschool through 12 include content on Internet safety and dangers of online predators.

This bill (S 1264) requires New Jersey public schools to add internet safety and online predator dangers to existing sexual abuse and assault awareness education for students in preschool through 12th grade. It amends current law (P.L.2019, c.185) to mandate that school districts include these topics as part of their health and physical education curriculum. The Commissioner of Education must consult with organizations like the New Jersey Coalition Against Human Trafficking to develop age-appropriate teaching materials. The bill directly affects all New Jersey public school districts and their K-12 students. It becomes effective 30 days after enactment.
