Bill > ACR138

This Concurrent Resolution proposes an amendment to the New Jersey State Constitution that would prevent students from being forced to attend a public school that is not the one closest to their home, provided that the nearest school is within their residential school district and offers the specific curriculum they are studying. A "Concurrent Resolution" is a legislative measure that requires approval from both houses of a legislature (in this case, the General Assembly and the Senate of New Jersey) but does not have the force of law on its own; instead, it's used to propose constitutional amendments or express the legislature's opinion. If approved by both houses, this proposed amendment would then be put to a public vote in the next general election.
