A 5129 New Jersey General Assembly · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Requires certain school districts to offer Eddie Eagle Gunsafe Program.

This bill requires school districts in New Jersey that include preschool through fifth-grade students to offer the Eddie Eagle GunSafe Program. The program teaches children four simple rules to follow if they encounter a firearm: stop, do not touch, leave the area, and tell an adult. It mandates that instruction must not involve real firearms or make value judgments about guns, focusing solely on safety protocols endorsed by law enforcement agencies.
