A 1423 New Jersey General Assembly · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Makes supplemental appropriation of $1 million for New Jersey Commission on Asian American Heritage.

This bill adds $1 million in supplemental funding from the General Fund to support the New Jersey Commission on Asian American Heritage. The commission uses this funding to carry out its existing duties, including advising schools on integrating Asian American history and culture into social studies curricula, developing teaching guidelines, and supporting educators. The funding is specifically designated under the Department of Education's Educational Support Services budget line for the commission's direct operations. This is a straightforward funding increase for an established commission's ongoing educational work, not a new program or policy change.
