S 3783 New Jersey Senate · 2026-2027 Regular Session

The "New Jersey Bleacher Safety Act."

This bill establishes safety standards for bleachers in public venues across New Jersey, including stadiums, arenas, and community centers. It requires the state Commissioner of Community Affairs to create inspection and certification rules based on national safety guidelines, mandating that all bleachers be upgraded within one year for government facilities and two years for private and nonprofit venues. Venues that fail to meet these safety standards by the deadlines must stop using their bleachers and display prominent warning notices until compliance is achieved.
