Requires Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery-Armed Forces Qualifying Test to be offered as alternative assessment for high school graduation proficiency test requirement.

This bill requires New Jersey public high schools to offer the ASVAB-AFQT (Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery-Armed Forces Qualifying Test) as an approved alternative to the standard graduation proficiency test. It directly affects high school students who need to demonstrate mastery of state standards to graduate, by adding ASVAB-AFQT back to the list of accepted substitute assessments. The key provision reinstates a test previously approved but removed from the list by the State Board of Education in 2023, allowing students to use their ASVAB-AFQT score instead of the state test. The bill takes effect immediately upon enactment.
