Requires Commissioner of Education to receive approval from State Board of Education prior to imposing new standardized assessment requirement on public schools.

This bill requires New Jersey's Commissioner of Education to obtain prior approval from the State Board of Education before implementing any new standardized assessment for public schools that isn't already mandated by state or federal law. A "standardized assessment" is defined as one administered to all students in a specific grade or subject, with results aggregated for analysis at district, school, or subgroup levels. Existing assessments that are merely updated or revised (not new requirements) are exempt from this approval process. The bill directly affects the Commissioner and State Board of Education by adding a procedural step for new testing mandates, effective immediately upon enactment.
