A 2523 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Requires certain officers of education organizations to sign acknowledgement and undergo training concerning duties to report child abuse.

This bill requires presidents and vice-presidents of New Jersey education unions (like the NJEA and AFT-NJ) to sign an acknowledgement of their legal duty to report suspected child abuse and complete training on those reporting requirements before taking office. It specifically targets union leaders representing K-12 teachers, not classroom staff. The training covers existing obligations under New Jersey law (including statutes C.9:6-8.10 and C.18A:36-25) and state regulations for school employees to notify authorities about abused, missing, or neglected children. The bill does not change reporting laws but ensures union leadership understands and complies with current requirements.
