A 3702 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Requires State, county, and municipal social service workers to periodically complete implicit bias and cultural competency training.

This bill requires all State, county, and municipal social service workers in New Jersey to complete training on implicit bias and cultural competency. Workers must finish an online tutorial by April 1 of every even-numbered year and attend annual in-person training sessions. County boards, municipal councils, and state department heads must certify completion and submit these records to the Department of Labor, making the certifications public information. The training aims to help workers recognize unconscious biases and improve interactions with diverse communities they serve.
