A 6030 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Requires instruction on lightning safety as part of New Jersey Student Learning Standards for Comprehensive Health and Physical Education.

This bill requires New Jersey public schools to include age-appropriate lightning safety instruction in health education for all students from kindergarten through 12th grade. It mandates teaching specific content: indoor/outdoor safety tips, first aid for lightning strikes, common lightning myths, and school-specific severe weather policies. Schools may use resources from the National Weather Service or NOAA to develop engaging lessons. The requirement applies starting with the next full school year after enactment, directly affecting all K-12 students and school districts across New Jersey.
