The American Legion Jersey Boys State program, founded in 1935 and active in New Jersey since 1946, and the American Legion Auxiliary Jersey Girls State program, founded in 1947, each strive to develop good citizenship by encouraging the youth of New Jersey to take a more active interest in the operation of State and national government and in the privileges and responsibilities of citizenship; c. The Jersey Boys State program and the Jersey Girls State program provide a college-level curriculum to a select group of high school juniors, or delegates, who complete an intensive, weeklong governmental leadership program in which delegates create, elect, and administer their own government; and d. Participation in the Jersey Boys State and Jersey Girls State programs should be encouraged so as to promote a greater understanding of the American system of government and a continued civic participation and commitment to governmental leadership and activism by young people in our State.

2021 New Jersey Revised Statutes|Title 18A - Education|Section 18A:61D-8 - Findings, declarations relative to hepatitis B vaccinations

18A:61D-8. Findings, declarations relative to hepatitis B vaccinations  1. The Legislature finds and declares that: a. Hepatitis B is a serious viral disease that attacks the liver and can cause lifelong infection, cirrhosis of the liver, liver cancer, liver failure and even death; after tobacco, hepatitis B is the world's leading known cause of cancer;  b. Hepatitis B virus is spread through blood and other body fluids and has been shown in some instances to remain infectious on environmental surfaces for at least a month at room temperature; in some settings, the virus can be up to 100 times more contagious than the virus that causes AIDS;  c. Individuals are at greater risk of hepatitis B virus infection who: have multiple sex partners; use injection drugs; have household contact with an individual who has lifelong hepatitis B infection; and travel to areas of the world where hepatitis B is common;  d. In 1999, an estimated 80,000 individuals in the United States were infected with the hepatitis B virus, and one out of 20 individuals in the United States will be infected with the virus at some time in their lives; approximately 30% of individuals who are infected show no signs or symptoms and can unknowingly pass the virus to others; e. The highest rate of hepatitis B disease occurs in individuals 20 to 49 years of age; in 1998, 205 hepatitis B cases were reported in New Jersey, with 60% of those occurring in individuals 25 to 44 years of age;  f. Hepatitis B vaccine, which has been available since 1982, prevents hepatitis B disease and its serious consequences; the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends routine vaccination of individuals zero to 18 years of age for hepatitis B; g. As of September 2001, the New Jersey Department of Health and Senior Services requires hepatitis B immunization prior to school entry for all children in the State, with a sixth grade catch-up dose for those not already immunized; and h. Since the hepatitis B immunization requirement for school entry in the State was recently adopted and the highest rates of hepatitis B infection in the nation and State are occurring in individuals between 20 and 50 years of age, it is appropriate for the State to require every high school student,and each new student enrolling on a full-time basis in a program leading to an academic degree at an institution of higher education in the State,to be vaccinated for hepatitis B. L.2002,c.58,s.1.

A student shall present evidence of the vaccination required pursuant to this section to the institution in a manner prescribed by the institution.  c. The Department of Health and Senior Services shall require each public or private institution of higher education in this State to offer the vaccination required pursuant to this section to its students through the institution's student health services program or through a contractual agreement with a community health care provider.  d. The Commissioner of Health and Senior Services shall adopt rules and regulations pursuant to the "Administrative Procedure Act," P.L.1968, c.410 (C.52:14B-1 et seq.) to carry out the purposes of subsections a., b. and c. of this section and sections 3 and 4 of this act.

2021 New Jersey Revised Statutes|Title 18A - Education|Section 18A:61D-12 - Findings, declarations relative to insect and food allergies.

18A:61D-12 Findings, declarations relative to insect and food allergies.  2. The Legislature finds and declares that: a. Insect and food allergies are the leading cause of anaphylaxis, a life-threatening condition that is easily treatable with epinephrine, a medication only available via prescription; b. Individuals who are known to be at risk of anaphylaxis may carry emergency doses of epinephrine with them at all times. However, many individuals may not be aware of their allergy and therefore do not carry epinephrine medication; c. New Jersey's institutions of higher education enroll students and attract faculty from around the country and around the world. They offer a broad array of educational opportunities for the students and faculty, both on and off campus, including trips and field studies to new environments that may expose them to different kinds of insects and foods for the first time. These are often remote settings where medical professionals or first responders are not available to provide emergency care for anaphylaxis; d. The State of New Jersey in P.L.1997, c.368 (C.18A:40-12.5 et seq.) has already recognized the value of training non-medical professionals to administer this life-saving drug in K-12 educational settings when a medical professional is not physically present at the scene; and e. It would be prudent to provide individuals in higher education settings who are responsible for the safety of one or more individuals with the tools to respond to emergency situations, particularly when placed in settings where exposure to unfamiliar insects or types of food is likely and where assistance from medical professionals and first responders is not readily available.
