Requires degree-seeking students enrolled in public institutions of higher education to receive instruction on American government and civic engagement.

This bill requires all degree-seeking students at New Jersey's public colleges and universities to complete a course on American government and civic participation before graduating. Starting in the 2022-2023 academic year, public institution governing boards must mandate this course as a graduation requirement. The law aims to equip students with foundational knowledge about democracy, citizenship, and how to engage in community decision-making. It directly affects every undergraduate student pursuing a degree at a New Jersey public higher education institution.
