Overview
This bill expands the protections of New Jersey’s ‘Anti-Bullying Bill of Rights Act’ to include incidents of gang bullying that occur in schools or on school-related activities. It defines ‘gang bullying’ as a coordinated pattern of harassment or intimidation involving two or more students, regardless of the motivation behind the actions. The law applies these protections to incidents that happen on school property, at school events, on school buses, and off-campus if a school employee is aware of the bullying. This ensures that students targeted by gang bullying receive the same protections as those targeted by traditional bullying.
