AR 88 New Jersey General Assembly · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Urges US President and Congress to establish student loan forgiveness program for certain doctors, nurses, and emergency medical services employees.

This New Jersey Assembly resolution urges federal lawmakers to create a student loan forgiveness program for doctors, nurses, and emergency medical services (EMS) workers who provided care during the COVID-19 pandemic. It specifically targets healthcare professionals who face substantial student debt from their education but may not qualify for existing federal programs like the Public Service Loan Forgiveness Program. The resolution aims to reduce financial burdens on these frontline workers by offering debt relief for their pandemic-era service, acknowledging their heightened risks and stress during the crisis. As a symbolic resolution, it does not create binding policy but formally requests congressional action.
