Requires board of education member to maintain principal residence in school district for certain number of days each year.
New Jersey Assembly Bill A4931 requires all members of local or regional school board of education to maintain a principal residence within their school district and spend at least 292 days there annually. The bill defines "principal residence" as a permanent home, excluding vacation properties or rental holdings, and states that board membership automatically ends if this requirement is not met. Exceptions apply if a member's primary residence is damaged by disaster, requiring temporary relocation. This amends existing law (N.J.S.18A:12-1 and N.J.S.18A:12-3) to add the 292-day residency requirement, replacing the previous standard of merely being a district resident.
