Requires certain athletic trainers and certain coaches of interscholastic sports, cheerleading and dance programs, and collegiate sports to complete student-athlete eating disorder training program developed by Commissioner of Education.

New Jersey's S 3861 requires coaches of public school interscholastic sports, cheerleading, and dance programs, as well as athletic trainers in public schools and colleges, to complete a mandatory student-athlete eating disorder awareness training program. The training, developed by the Commissioner of Education with health and higher education input, covers identifying eating disorder symptoms, prevention strategies, available support services, and referral protocols. Coaches and trainers must complete the training within six months of appointment or the start of the first full school year after the program launches, and every two years thereafter. The bill also mandates that school boards and college governing bodies adopt written protocols for addressing suspected eating disorders among student-athletes.
