A 6182 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Requires certain institutions of higher education to make annual payment to municipality.

This bill requires colleges and universities with over 2,000 full-time equivalent students to pay annual contributions to their host municipalities. Payments are calculated using a formula based on on-campus and commuter student counts ($100 per student annually, adjusted for inflation), with institutions eligible for up to 50% credit if they provide direct community services like fire/EMS staffing or local scholarships. Funds must be deposited into a dedicated "University Host Services Fund" for municipal costs related to public safety, emergency services, traffic control, and campus events. The bill applies specifically to institutions with a primary campus in a municipality, aiming to offset costs from student populations and campus growth.
