The bill establishes the "Student Mental Health Task Force" in New Jersey, aimed at addressing mental health issues among students, including depression, anxiety, and trauma. The task force will consist of 17 members, including various state commissioners and public members with expertise in mental health and education, appointed by legislative leaders and the Governor. The task force's responsibilities include examining available mental health resources, developing recommendations for improving access to mental health care programs, and ensuring that students can meet their educational goals.

Additionally, the task force is tasked with surveying the availability of mental health treatment services across counties and regions, evaluating existing counseling programs, and exploring funding needs for public schools to enhance mental health support. It will also analyze successful mental health initiatives from other states and consult with parents and educators during its work. A final report detailing the findings and recommendations must be submitted to the Governor and Legislature within one year of the task force's organization, after which the task force will dissolve 30 days later.
