A 3031 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Provides that required instruction on sexual abuse and assault awareness and prevention in grades preschool through 12 include content on Internet safety and dangers of online predators.

This bill (A3031) amends New Jersey law to require all public school districts to include age-appropriate instruction on Internet safety and online predator dangers within existing sexual abuse and assault awareness education for students in preschool through 12th grade. It directly affects all New Jersey public schools and students in those grades by expanding the required curriculum content. The key provision mandates that the Commissioner of Education, in consultation with specified organizations (including the New Jersey Coalition Against Sexual Assault), provide school districts with sample learning activities and resources for this new content. The amendment updates P.L.2019, c.185, ensuring schools address both in-person and online safety risks as part of comprehensive health education.
