Requires NJ Youth Suicide Prevention Advisory Council to prepare report regarding suicide prevention instruction in public schools.

This bill requires New Jersey's Youth Suicide Prevention Advisory Council to prepare a report on suicide prevention instruction in public schools. The council must review current programs, identify risk identification methods, evaluate best practices (including comparing to nearby states), and recommend improvements to mental health access in schools. To gather data, the council will develop a survey for schools (administered by the Department of Education in the 2023-24 school year), ensuring student privacy is protected before sharing results. The report must be submitted to the Governor and Legislature within 12 months of the bill's effective date.
