Bill Summary
An Act concerning military service members at public institutions of higher education and supplementing chapter 62 of Title 18A of the New Jersey Statutes.
AI Summary
This bill requires public colleges and universities in New Jersey to readmit undergraduate students who had to leave school because they were serving in the uniformed services, which includes the Armed Forces, National Guard, or Reserves, on active duty, active duty for training, or full-time National Guard duty. The student will be readmitted with the same academic standing they had before their service, and they must request readmission in writing for the next academic semester. Importantly, the institution cannot charge any application or other fees for this readmission process, and the law takes effect immediately, applying to the academic year following its enactment.
