A 2981 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Requires provision of instruction on safe user practices for certain websites and mobile applications as part of New Jersey Student Learning Standards for Comprehensive Health and Physical Education.

This bill requires New Jersey public schools to teach students in grades 7-12 about safe practices for using ride-share apps (like Uber or Lyft) and classified websites (like Craigslist or Facebook Marketplace) as part of health and physical education. It mandates specific safety steps for ride-share use, such as paying digitally, confirming driver details before entering a vehicle, riding in the back seat, and sharing trip details. For classified website transactions, it requires meeting in public places during daylight, avoiding cash payments, not sharing personal information, and bringing others to transactions. The instruction must be integrated into existing health education standards starting from the 2020-2021 school year.
