Requires institution of higher education to adopt policy on use of campus facilities and grounds for camping.

This New Jersey bill (A1627) requires colleges and universities to create written policies governing camping on campus grounds and facilities. It mandates that any individual or group seeking to camp must first get approval from the institution, defining "camping" broadly to include tents, overnight sleeping bags, makeshift shelters, and vehicles like RVs or campers. The policy must be adopted by each institution's governing board, and the law takes effect immediately upon passage. The bill directly affects campus users and institutions, setting a clear approval process for overnight stays using camping equipment.
