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 to engage in respectful discourse, even when they hold differing opinions. 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 and local agencies and will be responsible for conducting outreach to schools to discuss the core values of civility and its practical applications in everyday life.

In its efforts, the task force will travel annually to a diverse range of schools throughout the state, including urban, suburban, and rural areas, to engage students in discussions about civility. Topics will include the significance of respectful communication, examples of civil disagreement, and the importance of fostering productive dialogue. The task force aims to provide students with real-life examples of how civility can lead to positive outcomes and to encourage them to practice these values in their interactions both in and out of the classroom.
