A 4717 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Allows military member to qualify for resident tuition rate at county college.

This bill allows active-duty U.S. military members and their dependents living in New Jersey to qualify for county resident tuition rates at local county colleges, regardless of their official mailing address. It specifically applies to military personnel residing in or stationed at a New Jersey county college's county, ensuring they pay the lower in-county tuition rate instead of higher non-resident fees. The policy change directly affects military families who currently face higher tuition costs due to maintaining out-of-county or out-of-state addresses for administrative purposes. The bill takes effect immediately for the next academic year, aligning county college tuition benefits with existing state-level residency rules for military members at public universities.
