A 2204 New Jersey General Assembly · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Requires State, county, and municipal social service workers to periodically complete implicit bias and cultural competency training.

This bill would require all State, county, and municipal social service workers to complete annual implicit bias and cultural competency training. Workers must finish an online tutorial by April 1 of every even-numbered year and attend yearly in-person sessions. County/municipal boards and state departments must certify completion and share these records publicly. The training aims to help workers understand unconscious biases and better serve diverse communities they support.
