Establishes "Parents' Bill of Rights" to protect parents' fundamental rights in their minor child's upbringing, education, and health care.

The "Parents' Bill of Rights" establishes fundamental parental rights in New Jersey, ensuring parents can direct their minor child's upbringing, education, and health care. It mandates that the State and its entities cannot infringe on these rights without demonstrating a compelling state interest. Parents have the right to direct their child's education, including enrollment in public or private schools, and to opt out of sex education courses. They can access and review school records and participate in school activities.
