Provides that State pay high school equivalency exam fees for low-income individuals.
This bill (S 3632) requires New Jersey to cover high school equivalency exam fees for low-income residents. It defines "low-income" as individuals in households earning ≤185% of federal poverty guidelines and limits fee coverage to one exam per person. The state would fund this through a 5% allocation from the Workforce Development Partnership Fund. The State Board of Education must establish the program within six months of the bill's effective date.
