Repeals law that requires funds for legislative agents to be assessed on student tuition bills in certain manner.
This bill repeals a 1995 law (P.L.1995, c.63) that restricted how public college student groups could fund legislative advocacy. Currently, the law prohibited mandatory fees for student groups working to influence legislation from appearing on tuition bills, though optional fees with student approval were permitted. The repeal removes these restrictions, allowing student organizations to assess fees for legislative activity without the prior approval requirements. This directly affects students at New Jersey's public colleges and universities who participate in or support student-led advocacy groups.
