Amends definition of "harassment, intimidation, or bullying" in "Anti-Bullying Bill of Rights Act."

This bill (A3654) clarifies the definition of "harassment, intimidation, or bullying" under New Jersey's Anti-Bullying Bill of Rights Act to explicitly state that the motivating characteristic need not be limited to the examples listed (such as race, gender, or disability). It expands the scope to include any characteristic that could motivate bullying, making the definition more inclusive. The change directly affects students in New Jersey public schools by ensuring protections cover bullying based on characteristics beyond the previously specified examples. The amendment applies to all school settings, including online communications, and focuses on conduct that disrupts school order or creates a hostile environment.
