Establishes "Defend our Educational Resources Act."
This bill requires New Jersey's Governor, with input from the Education Commissioner, to take steps protecting the state's educational authority from federal interference. Key provisions mandate challenging federal actions that limit state education control, challenging the Supreme Court's *Plyler v. Doe* decision (which prohibits denying public education funding to undocumented children) when possible, and supporting local efforts to preserve resources for U.S. citizens. It directly affects how New Jersey engages with federal education policies and could influence access to public education for undocumented students. The law takes effect immediately upon enactment.
