A 1664 New Jersey General Assembly · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Establishes additional public inspection requirements for school district budgets.

This bill requires New Jersey school districts to make three versions of their budgets publicly accessible: the initial proposed budget submitted to the Commissioner of Education, the commissioner-approved version, and the final adopted budget. All versions must be posted on school district websites (if available), provided in print using plain language, and made available upon public request. The commissioner-approved budget must be posted no later than 48 hours before the public hearing on the budget. These changes apply to school budgets for the second full school year following the bill's enactment, directly affecting all New Jersey school districts.
