"New Jersey Intergenerational Poverty Reduction Act."
This bill establishes the New Jersey Commission on Poverty Elimination and Economic Security to study and address intergenerational poverty - the cycle where poverty persists across multiple family generations. The commission will develop a strategic plan using a "two-generation approach," focusing on simultaneous support for parents and children to improve economic security. It defines key terms like "intergenerational poverty" (distinct from temporary hardship) and requires measuring poverty through non-income factors such as housing, health care access, and the digital divide. The bill creates the framework for future policy action but does not allocate direct funding or mandate specific programs.
