Bill overview
This bill amends the definition of ‘harassment, intimidation, or bullying’ in New Jersey’s ‘Anti-Bullying Bill of Rights Act.’ Currently, the law specifies certain characteristics that can motivate such behavior, but this amendment broadens the scope to include any distinguishing characteristic that a reasonable person would perceive as causing physical or emotional harm, or creating a hostile educational environment. The bill clarifies that the definition is not limited to the characteristics explicitly listed.
