Bill Summary
Under current law, United States military personnel and their dependents who are living in New Jersey and are attending public institutions of higher education in New Jersey are regarded as residents of the State for the purpose of determining tuition. This bill amends that law to provide that: ? the in-State tuition classification also applies to the military service member's spouse; and ? in the event that the military service member is relocated out of the State due to the service member's continued military service, the service member's spouse or dependent will not lose their in-State tuition classification provided that: (1) the spouse or dependent was enrolled in a public institution of higher education in New Jersey prior to the service member's relocation; and (2) the spouse or dependent maintains continuous enrollment at the public institution of higher education.
AI Summary
This bill amends existing law to allow the spouses and dependents of U.S. military service members to qualify for in-state tuition at public institutions of higher education in New Jersey, even if the service member is transferred out of the state due to continued military service. The bill ensures that as long as the spouse or dependent was enrolled in a New Jersey public institution prior to the service member's relocation, and maintains continuous enrollment, they will retain their in-state tuition classification. This change provides additional support and benefits to military families living in New Jersey.
