Requires school districts to receive written permission from parent or legal guardian before administering certain student health surveys.

This bill requires New Jersey school districts to obtain written permission from a parent or legal guardian before administering certain student health surveys. It directly affects school districts, parents/guardians, and students, covering surveys about substance use (alcohol, tobacco, drugs, vaping), sexual behavior, violence-related behaviors, and nutrition/physical activity. Schools must provide a detailed permission form at least two weeks in advance, explaining the survey's purpose, data access, and how to approve or deny participation (with failure to respond counting as approval). Survey results must be shared with state education and health departments for public health initiatives but cannot be used for commercial purposes. Violations may result in monetary penalties.
