S 793 New Jersey Senate · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Establishes "Responsible School Violence Prevention, Preparation, and Protection (RSVP-3) Pilot Program."

This bill establishes a three-year pilot program in New Jersey's Bergen, Essex, Hudson, Middlesex, Morris, Passaic, and Union counties (and first-class cities like Newark) to train school staff, law enforcement, mental health professionals, and students to identify and report behaviors signaling potential school violence. Key provisions include creating a threat assessment tool, developing training on recognizing risk behaviors, setting up immediate reporting mechanisms, and establishing procedures to address threats. The program requires annual evaluation reports to the Governor and Legislature, with recommendations on whether to expand it statewide. It aims to prevent school violence through early intervention, funded by state appropriations.
