Authorizes certain boards of education to issue bonds to repair damages caused by natural disasters in certain circumstances.
S 766 would have permitted New Jersey school districts affected by natural disasters to issue bonds for facility repairs without voter approval, provided costs were eligible for FEMA reimbursement. It applied to districts without elected school boards (Type II) or under state intervention, requiring two-thirds board approval and Commissioner of Education review. The bill mandated detailed cost estimates, FEMA reimbursement documentation, and compliance with state emergency declarations. However, it was introduced in the Senate on January 9, 2024, and withdrawn the same day without further action.
