Requires school districts to provide for the safe operation of electrically operated partitions in classrooms or other school facilities.
This bill requires New Jersey school districts to implement safety measures for electrically operated partitions (like motorized room dividers) in classrooms and student areas. For new partitions installed after the bill takes effect, it mandates dual control stations requiring simultaneous activation, automatic reversal capability, and sensors to stop motion when objects are detected. School districts with existing partitions lacking these features must restrict operation to trained staff only, prohibit student presence during operation, and post safety signage. The bill also requires annual injury reporting, staff training on safe operation, and prohibits tampering with safety features. (Note: Bill is pending, not yet law.)
