Reduces NJ Legislature Youth Council residency requirement for certain military children from 15 years to 6 months.
This bill changes the residency requirement for the New Jersey Legislative Youth Council. It reduces the minimum residency period from 15 years to six consecutive months for "military children," defined as children of full-time active-duty U.S. Armed Forces service members. This adjustment directly affects military-connected youth who frequently relocate due to parental service, making council membership more accessible. The change applies only to this specific group within the council's 40 public member slots.
