Revises training requirements for governing board members of public institutions of higher education.

This bill shortens training deadlines for governing board members at New Jersey's public colleges and universities from one year to six months after appointment. It shifts responsibility from institutions to the Secretary of Higher Education for designing training content, which must cover financial management, ethics, legal compliance, and governance roles. Members who miss deadlines get a 30-day grace period, and repeated failures could disqualify them from future board service for two years. The state will annually appropriate $350,000 to fund this new system.
