S 1006 New Jersey Senate · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Allows military member to qualify for resident tuition rate at county college.

S 1006 allows U.S. military members and their dependents living in New Jersey to qualify for the county resident tuition rate at county colleges in the county where they reside or are stationed. Currently, many military families pay higher non-resident tuition rates because they maintain out-of-county addresses. The bill directly affects military personnel and dependents attending county colleges, changing residency determination for tuition purposes. This ensures they pay the lower resident rate - similar to benefits already provided under state law for public universities - rather than the significantly higher non-resident rate.
