Revises membership and duties of NJ Commission on Environmental Education.
This bill revises the structure and responsibilities of New Jersey's Commission on Environmental Education. It increases the commission's membership from 23 to 32 members, adding specific roles including a Board of Public Utilities designee, a Department of Agriculture representative, an additional public school teacher, an extra industry representative, an additional cultural institution representative, and a new environmental justice organization representative. The bill also updates the commission's duties to specifically advise on implementing climate, sustainability, and environmental literacy education statewide, while requiring efforts to appoint members from overburdened communities.
