Requires members of State Board of Education to attend meetings in person to be recorded as present.

S 512 requires members of New Jersey's State Board of Education to attend meetings in person to be counted as present, with exceptions only during a Governor-declared state of emergency. The bill also mandates that all public Board meetings must be accessible both in person and virtually, with a public website link provided for remote access. Additionally, it requires that public comment periods allow remote participation via virtual means. This bill directly affects Board members' attendance records and public access to Board proceedings. (Introduced January 9, 2024; referred to Senate Education Committee)
