Requires instruction on cybersecurity in grades nine through 12; requires Office of Secretary of Higher Education to develop cybersecurity model curricula; establishes loan redemption programs for individuals in certain cybersecurity occupations.

This bill requires New Jersey public schools to incorporate cybersecurity education into the curriculum for students in grades nine through twelve, with curriculum guidelines developed by the Commissioner of Education. It directs the Office of the Secretary of Higher Education to create model cybersecurity curricula for four-year colleges and county colleges to support degree programs in the field. The bill also establishes two loan redemption programs: one providing $1,000 per year for up to four years to cybersecurity professionals employed in New Jersey, and another offering the same benefit to cybersecurity teachers in state schools, both requiring participants to have graduated from approved cybersecurity programs. These programs aim to support career pathways in cybersecurity while addressing workforce needs.
