AI Summary
This bill requires four-year public institutions of higher education in New Jersey to offer automatic admission to undergraduate degree programs for eligible residents under the age of 24 who have been diagnosed with cancer or sickle cell anemia. The institutions must prioritize admissions, financial aid, and on-campus housing for these students, though they may deny admission if they identify a compelling reason and report the denial to the Secretary of Higher Education, who can override the decision. The institutions must also annually report the number of students admitted under this provision to the Secretary of Higher Education, who will provide the total to the Governor and the Legislature.
