Requires State colleges to close on Election Day.
This bill requires all New Jersey state colleges to close on Election Day for general elections, meaning no academic classes will be held on that date.

The law takes effect in the first full academic year following its enactment, ensuring colleges adjust their schedules to accommodate the holiday.
