Requires members, officers, and employees of Legislature to undergo implicit bias and cultural competency training.
This bill requires all members, officers, and employees of New Jersey's Legislature to complete annual implicit bias and cultural competency training. It mandates an online tutorial by April 1 of every even-numbered year, plus additional annual in-person training directed by leadership. Staff must submit public certifications verifying completion to the Legislative Counsel. The goal is to help legislators and staff understand unconscious biases and interact effectively with diverse communities when making policy decisions.
