New Jersey Bleacher Safety Act mandates safety standards for existing bleachers to prevent falls and injuries.
The New Jersey Bleacher Safety Act requires the Commissioner of Community Affairs to adopt safety standards for existing bleachers within six months of the bill's effective date. These standards aim to minimize the risk of falls or injuries from bleachers, utilizing guidelines from the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission or recognized model code agencies. Governmental entities must upgrade their bleachers within one year if state funds are available, or within one year regardless of funding. Private and nonprofit entities must upgrade their bleachers within two years.
