Establishes one-time grant to study and recommend best practices for encouraging youth participation in government.
This bill establishes a one-time $100,000 grant for a New Jersey four-year public university to study and recommend effective methods for increasing youth engagement in government. The university must submit a proposal detailing its study plan and budget, then issue a report within one year identifying existing youth participation strategies and recommending the most effective approaches. The report will be shared online by the state education department and distributed to all school districts within 60 days. The grant aims to inform future efforts to involve young people in civic processes, but does not directly change laws or create new programs.
