A 3066 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Amends definition of "harassment, intimidation, or bullying" in "Anti-Bullying Bill of Rights Act."

This bill (A3066) amends New Jersey's Anti-Bullying Bill of Rights Act (P.L.2002, c.83) by updating the definition of "harassment, intimidation, or bullying." It clarifies that bullying motivated by *any* actual or perceived characteristic - not just the specific examples listed (like race, gender, or disability) - falls under the law. The change ensures schools must address bullying based on all distinguishing traits, not just those explicitly named. This directly affects public school policies and procedures for identifying and responding to bullying incidents across New Jersey.
