S 175 New Jersey Senate · 2026-2027 Regular Session

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

S 175 establishes an Anti-Bullying Youth Council composed of 21 student members (appointed by county school superintendents from public and nonpublic middle/high schools) and 4 nonvoting legislative advisors. The council’s primary role is to research bullying issues in schools, provide youth perspectives, and make specific policy recommendations to the existing Anti-Bullying Task Force. It must submit annual reports to the Governor and Legislature, including public recommendations online, and expire when the Task Force ends. The bill directly affects students in New Jersey schools by creating a formal channel for their input on anti-bullying efforts.
