This bill establishes an 11-member task force in New Jersey tasked with examining and evaluating school discipline policies and practices, focusing on racial disparities and overall effectiveness. The task force will include the Commissioner of Education, the Director of the Division on Civil Rights, and seven members appointed by the Governor from various educational associations, as well as two public members with expertise in school discipline. Appointments must be made within 30 days of the bill's enactment, and members will serve without compensation but can be reimbursed for necessary expenses.

The task force's responsibilities include studying discipline practices across school districts, assessing the impact of race on disciplinary actions, and evaluating the effectiveness of current policies in maintaining student safety and reducing behavioral issues. It will also review federal guidance on school discipline and emerging best practices, ultimately providing recommendations for improving school discipline policies and practices. A final report detailing the task force's findings and recommendations must be submitted to the Governor and the Legislature within 12 months of its formation, after which the task force will dissolve.
