SCR 125 New Jersey Senate · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Proposes Children's Outdoor Bill of Rights.

SCR 125 is a non-binding symbolic resolution (not a law) expressing New Jersey's support for a "Children's Outdoor Bill of Rights." It lists specific outdoor activities children should have opportunities to enjoy, such as exploring woods, building forts, playing in mud, planting gardens, and observing nature. The resolution directs copies to the Governor, the Environmental Protection Commissioner, and the Children and Families Commissioner to encourage promoting these outdoor experiences. It does not create new legal rights or obligations but aims to raise awareness about the educational and health benefits of children spending time outdoors.
