A 4381 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Permits boards of education to lease certain school property to federally qualified health centers without bidding.

This bill allows New Jersey school boards to lease school properties no longer needed for educational purposes to federally qualified health centers (FQHCs) without competitive bidding. It adds FQHCs to the existing list of entities - such as government agencies, fire departments, and certain nonprofits - that can lease such property for a nominal fee without bidding. Leases must be compatible with school operations, as determined by the state education commissioner. This change simplifies access to school facilities for FQHCs, which provide community healthcare services.
