Requires school districts to provide instruction on the dangers of texting while driving as part of the New Jersey Student Learning Standards in Comprehensive Health and Physical Education.

This bill requires New Jersey public school districts to teach students in grades 9-12 about the dangers of texting while driving as part of their health education curriculum. It mandates that lessons include specific information on how distracted driving correlates with erratic driving behaviors (like lane-weaving) and accidents, plus statistics on related injuries and fatalities. The Commissioner of Education must provide schools with sample lesson materials and resources to support this instruction. The requirement applies to all school districts beginning with the 2021-2022 school year.
