Requires school districts to provide for the safe operation of electrically operated partitions in classrooms or other school facilities.

This New Jersey bill (S 1739) requires school districts to implement safety measures for electrically operated partitions in classrooms and other student facilities. For new partitions, it mandates dual control stations requiring simultaneous operation by two people, motion sensors to stop movement if blocked, and reversal capability during operation. Existing partitions lacking these features must be operated only by trained staff with no students present, accompanied by visible safety signage and staff training on proper operation. Schools must also post safety notices, maintain records of training and maintenance, and report any injury incidents annually. The law takes effect one year after enactment.
