Establishes mediation process for school ethics complaints.
S 3476 establishes a mediation process for resolving school ethics complaints involving school officials and board members in New Jersey. The Ethics Commission must offer mediation to both the complainant and the named school official, requiring both to sign a confidentiality agreement if they agree to mediate. If mediation resolves the complaint, it is dismissed with a written agreement; if not, the commission investigates, placing the burden of proof on the complainant to establish a violation. The bill mandates a 90-day timeline for the commission to make a final decision on all complaints.
