S 2005 New Jersey Senate · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Permits spouses and dependents of military service members to qualify for in-State tuition in event that service member is transferred to another state.

S 2005 (New Jersey) allows spouses and dependents of military service members to maintain in-state tuition rates at public colleges and universities in New Jersey, even if the service member is transferred to another state. The bill specifically ensures that spouses or dependents who were enrolled in a New Jersey public institution before the transfer and maintain continuous enrollment keep their in-state tuition classification. This applies to military families relocating due to service, addressing a gap where such students might otherwise lose residency status. The law amends existing provisions to explicitly include spouses and protect continuity of enrollment during military relocations.
