SCR 78 New Jersey Senate · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Establishes "Joint Legislative Statesmanship Task Force" to promote importance of civility to students in grades kindergarten through 12.

SCR 78 is a concurrent resolution establishing the "Joint Legislative Statesmanship Task Force" to promote civility in K-12 education. The 12-member task force, appointed equally from Senate and Assembly majority and minority parties, will annually visit schools across New Jersey to discuss core civility values with students. It requires the task force to demonstrate respectful disagreement, bipartisan collaboration, and practical civility in daily interactions through school discussions, targeting all grade levels and geographic regions. This procedural resolution creates a mechanism for legislators to model civility in education without enacting new laws.
