Bill Summary
This bill provides that a member of the United States military or his dependent who lives in New Jersey and is attending a county college established by the county in which the member resides or is stationed must be charged the county resident tuition rate. Currently, many military members and their dependents maintain out-of-county or out-of-State addresses. As a result, these military members and their dependents do not qualify for the resident tuition rate at their local county college. In most county colleges in the State, the county resident tuition rate is significantly lower than the nonresident tuition rate. Current law at N.J.S.A.18A:62-4.1 provides that those members of the military who are enrolled in public institutions of higher education are considered State residents for the purposes of qualifying for in-State tuition. This benefit is also extended to the dependents of military members. This bill will ensure that military personnel and their dependents receive a similar in-county tuition benefit.
AI Summary
This bill provides that a member of the United States military or their dependent who lives in New Jersey and is attending a county college in the county where the member resides or is stationed must be charged the county resident tuition rate. Currently, many military members and their dependents maintain out-of-county or out-of-state addresses, making them ineligible for the lower county resident tuition rate at their local county college. This bill aims to ensure that military personnel and their dependents receive the in-county tuition benefit, similar to the in-state tuition benefit they currently receive at public institutions of higher education.
