S 433 New Jersey Senate · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Eliminates State residency requirement for mathematics and science public school teachers.

This bill eliminates New Jersey's requirement that public school teachers must live in the state. It specifically removes the residency rule for teachers hired by school districts, charter schools, or renaissance school projects to teach mathematics or science. The change makes explicit an existing exception in the law (currently listed in R.S.52:14-7) that already exempted these teachers from the general residency rule. This affects only math and science teachers in public schools, not other educators or state employees.
