This bill mandates that school districts in New Jersey establish policies regarding the use of sunscreen and sun-protective clothing, such as hats and sunglasses, for students during outdoor activities at school and school-sponsored events. Importantly, the legislation stipulates that students will not be required to present any documentation from a physician or licensed health care professional to use these protective items.

The bill aims to enhance student safety by promoting sun protection without the barriers of medical documentation, thereby encouraging more students to utilize sunscreen and protective clothing while outdoors. It is set to take effect in the first full school year following its enactment.
