A 4945 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Requires access to certain assistive services for students with disabilities at public institutions of higher education.

This bill requires New Jersey public colleges and universities to provide students with disabilities access to assistive services during class, such as note-taking software or a scribe for recording course material. It specifically limits recording use to personal study and prohibits recording tests or graded assignments completed during class. The law applies directly to students with disabilities enrolled at state-funded higher education institutions. The bill takes immediate effect upon passage.
