The bill mandates the State Board of Education to adopt New Jersey Student Learning Standards specifically focused on Latino and Hispanic history. It requires that all school districts incorporate instruction on the history and contributions of Latinos and Hispanics into their curriculum for students in grades K-12. This instruction must be historically accurate, culturally relevant, community-based, contemporary, and developmentally appropriate. Additionally, the Commissioner of Education, in collaboration with the Commission on Latino and Hispanic Heritage, is tasked with providing school districts with sample learning activities and resources to aid in the implementation of this requirement.

Furthermore, the bill stipulates that the new standards for Latino and Hispanic history will be updated concurrently with other updates to the New Jersey Student Learning Standards. The act is set to take effect immediately and will first apply to the full school year following its enactment.
