Youth groups would change outdoor activities at high pollution levels

The health commissioner would set an air quality policy, and covered groups would adopt and follow it. It covers New Jersey groups that organize, run, sponsor, or supervise outdoor activities for anyone 18 or younger. The policy must require groups to change or cancel activities when the federal Air Quality Index reaches 151 or higher. It must also guide the people who make those decisions. These requirements would take effect on the first day of the fourth month after the bill becomes law.
