A 1363 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

The "New Jersey Bleacher Safety Act."

The New Jersey Bleacher Safety Act (A1363) requires safety standards for existing bleachers at public venues like sports arenas, schools, and event centers. It directs the Commissioner of Community Affairs to create safety standards within six months, using U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission guidelines, and mandates that all entities - governmental (e.g., school districts), private, and nonprofit - upgrade or retrofit bleachers to meet these standards. Governmental entities must comply within one year (or sooner if funding is available), while private and nonprofit entities have two years. Non-compliant bleachers must display warning notices and cannot be used after deadlines pass.
