Requires school districts to provide instruction on the dangers of texting while driving as part of the New Jersey Student Learning Standards in Comprehensive Health and Physical Education.

S 67 requires New Jersey public school districts to teach students in grades 9-12 about the dangers of texting while driving as part of their health education curriculum. Starting in the 2021-2022 school year, schools must cover how distracted driving correlates with erratic behavior (like lane-weaving) and provide statistics on related accidents, injuries, and fatalities. The Commissioner of Education will provide sample lesson materials and resources to support this instruction. This bill directly affects all New Jersey public high schools and their 9th-12th grade students through mandated curriculum changes.
