Requires public institutions of higher education to enroll certain students impacted by automation in job training courses without payment of tuition.

This bill requires New Jersey's public colleges and universities to offer tuition-free job training courses to workers displaced by automation. It specifically applies to individuals who have been in the workforce for at least two years, are currently unemployed, or received a layoff notice due to factory closures or automation (expanding current law, which only covered factory closures). To qualify, applicants cannot receive state or federal financial aid, and courses must have available space with sufficient paying students to meet minimum enrollment. Public institutions may still charge a $20 registration fee per term. The law aims to help workers transition to new careers as automation impacts more jobs.
