AI Summary

This bill establishes a temporary five-year teacher certification program for veterans in New Jersey. The bill defines a "veteran" as an individual who served on active duty in the U.S. Armed Forces, Reserves, or National Guard and was honorably discharged. To qualify, a veteran must have completed at least four years of military service, 60 college credits, and passed any required subject matter exams. School districts can hire veterans with this temporary certification for full-time or part-time teaching positions, and their teaching experience can fulfill the clinical practice requirements of educator preparation programs. The State Board of Education will adopt rules and regulations to implement this program.
