A 3060 New Jersey General Assembly · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Establishes public awareness campaign on dangers of social media use to minors; appropriates $500,000.

This bill establishes a public awareness campaign about social media's risks to minors, targeting parents and guardians of children aged 13-17. It appropriates $500,000 from the General Fund for the New Jersey Department of Education to develop and implement the campaign within 180 days of enactment. The campaign will use statewide media channels - including newspapers, radio, TV ads, and social media - to share research on social media's mental health impacts, based on the U.S. Surgeon General’s 2023 advisory. The Commissioner of Education must report on the campaign’s progress to the Governor and Legislature within 24 months of the bill’s effective date.
