Urges President and Congress of United States to enact student loan forgiveness program for teachers in military-impacted communities.

SJR 23 is a New Jersey joint resolution urging the federal government to create a student loan forgiveness program for teachers. It specifically calls for canceling up to $17,500 in federal student loans after five consecutive years of teaching in schools within communities where at least 20% of students have a parent on active military duty. The resolution emphasizes that this program would help attract and retain qualified teachers in military-impacted communities to support military-connected students during school transitions. It does not create a new law but formally requests action from the President and Congress. The resolution was introduced in the Senate on January 9, 2024.
