Establishes New Jersey Commission on College and School Safety and Security.
New Jersey Assembly Bill 4038 establishes a 17-member Commission on College and School Safety and Security within the Executive Branch (though independent of the Department of Education). The commission will assess security vulnerabilities at all public and nonpublic K-12 schools and colleges across the state, reviewing emergency plans, response times, campus technology, physical infrastructure, mental health services, and accessibility for students with disabilities. It will develop recommendations for best practices to improve safety, including guidelines for emergency planning and security technology. The bill creates a structured process for the commission’s formation, membership appointments, and annual operations, but does not mandate specific security measures or funding.
