Reduces NJ Legislative Youth Council residency requirement for certain military children from 15 years to 6 months.

This bill (S 1885) reduces the residency requirement for military children seeking membership on New Jersey’s Legislative Youth Council from 15 years to six consecutive months. It directly affects children of active-duty U.S. military service members (defined as children related by blood, marriage, or adoption to a full-time service member). The change applies specifically to the 40 public-member positions on the council, which require members to be between 15-23 years old and reflect district diversity. The bill amends existing law to make this exception while maintaining other membership criteria.
