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's State Board of Education to reinstate the Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery-Armed Forces Qualifying Test (ASVAB-AFQT) as an approved alternative test for high school graduation. It directly affects students in New Jersey public high schools who need to meet graduation proficiency requirements but haven't passed the standard state test. The key mechanism adds ASVAB-AFQT back to the list of substitute assessments (alongside options like SAT or ACT) that students can use to demonstrate required skills. The bill takes immediate effect, reversing a 2023 decision that had removed ASVAB-AFQT from the approved list.
