A 1807 New Jersey General Assembly · 2026-2027 Regular Session

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

This bill establishes a 25-member Anti-Bullying Youth Council in New Jersey, directly involving students from public and nonpublic middle and high schools. The council consists of 21 student members (appointed by county school superintendents) and 4 nonvoting legislative members who provide advisory support. Key provisions require the council to research bullying issues, make written policy recommendations to the existing Anti-Bullying Task Force, and submit annual reports to the Governor and Legislature. The council expires when the Anti-Bullying Task Force ends, with all recommendations made publicly available online.
