Broadens definition of "harassment, intimidation or bullying" to include hazing; requires inclusion of power differential in anti-bullying policy; directs DOE to revise guidance document and model policy.

This bill expands New Jersey's definition of "harassment, intimidation or bullying" to explicitly include hazing. It requires all public school districts to revise their anti-bullying policies to address power imbalances between students and incorporate this updated definition. The bill directs the Department of Education to revise its guidance documents and model policies to reflect these changes. These updates apply to all public school districts and students, mandating specific policy components, standardized incident reporting forms, and procedures for handling complaints.
