Expands definition of "harassment, intimidation, or bullying" in New Jersey's Anti-Bullying Bill of Rights Act to include all students.
New Jersey S253 amends the Anti-Bullying Bill of Rights Act to broaden the definition of "harassment, intimidation, or bullying." Previously, the act defined these terms as acts motivated by an actual or perceived characteristic. This bill removes that requirement, expanding the definition to include any act that creates a hostile educational environment for a student, interferes with their education, or causes physical or emotional harm.
