Establishes Advisory Commission on Advancing LGBTQIA+ Youth Equity and Inclusion in Schools.

This bill creates a permanent 25-member Advisory Commission on Advancing LGBTQIA+ Youth Equity and Inclusion in Schools to address challenges faced by LGBTQIA+ students in New Jersey public schools. The commission, including government officials and community representatives, will review school policies, identify best practices for inclusive environments, and recommend strategies to prevent bullying and support mental health. It will specifically advise on implementing curriculum requirements about LGBTQIA+ contributions and improving school safety. The commission is designed to build on a 2024 executive order but establish a permanent, independent body within the Department of Education. The bill does not change existing laws but creates a mechanism for ongoing review and recommendations.
