Requires Commissioner of Education to receive approval from State Board of Education prior to imposing new standardized assessment requirement on public schools.

This bill requires New Jersey's Commissioner of Education to get prior approval from the State Board of Education before implementing any new standardized test requirement for public schools that isn't already mandated by state or federal law. It defines "standardized assessment" as a test given to all students in a specific grade or subject, with results analyzed across schools or student groups. Updates to existing tests (like new versions of current assessments) are excluded from this requirement. The bill applies directly to the Commissioner and State Board, changing the approval process for new testing mandates without altering current assessment requirements.
