S 350 New Jersey Senate · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Establishes Anti-Bullying Youth Council to assist Anti-Bullying Task Force.

S 350 establishes an Anti-Bullying Youth Council to advise New Jersey's existing Anti-Bullying Task Force on youth perspectives regarding bullying in schools. The council, composed of 21 student members (appointed by county school leaders from public and private middle/high schools) and 4 nonvoting legislative advisors, will research bullying issues and submit written policy recommendations to the Task Force, with annual reports to the Governor and Legislature. It requires the council to make its recommendations publicly available online and expire when the Task Force ends. This bill directly affects students as council members and school bullying prevention efforts through youth-informed policy input.
