A 4829 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Expands eligibility for school transportation services for nonpublic school pupils; repeals law concerning transportation of certain nonpublic school students.

This bill expands school transportation eligibility for nonpublic school students in New Jersey by requiring school districts to provide transportation or a reimbursement payment if the student resides in the same county as their nonpublic school, regardless of the school's distance from home. Currently, districts only cover transportation for nonpublic schools within 20 miles of a student's residence. The bill repeals a prior law (P.L.1999, c.350) that established the 20-mile limit, aligning with the new county-based requirement. This change affects school districts and nonpublic school students in New Jersey, particularly those attending schools in their home county beyond the previous 20-mile radius.
