A 4423 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Prohibits public institution of higher education from entering into certain partnerships with institutions of higher education located in Palestinian territories.

This bill prohibits New Jersey's public colleges and universities from entering any partnership (including contracts, joint ventures, or memorandums of understanding) with institutions of higher education located in Palestinian-controlled West Bank or Gaza territories. It also bans the transfer, license, or sublicense of intellectual property (such as research data or patents) to those institutions. Public institutions found non-compliant by the Secretary of Higher Education would lose eligibility for state funding covering operational and capital costs. The law applies specifically to partnerships with institutions in designated Palestinian territories and takes immediate effect.
