The resolution establishes the Joint Legislative Statesmanship Task Force with the goal of promoting civility among students in grades K-12 across New Jersey. It emphasizes the importance of teaching young people the value of respect and dignity in their daily interactions, particularly during disagreements. The task force will consist of 12 members from the Legislature, appointed from both the majority and minority parties in both the Senate and General Assembly. It will have the authority to seek assistance from various state agencies and will be responsible for conducting its activities within the limits of available funds.

To fulfill its mission, the task force will annually visit schools throughout the state to engage with students on the principles of civility. This includes discussions on how to practice civility in everyday life, the significance of respectful engagement, and sharing personal experiences of civil discourse among task force members. The task force aims to reach a diverse range of schools, ensuring representation from urban, suburban, and rural areas across New Jersey. The resolution underscores the need for civility in public discourse, especially in light of increasing political hostility, and seeks to instill these values in the next generation.
