Increases tuition credit amount permitted under volunteer tuition credit program.
This bill (A-2262) increases tuition credit amounts for volunteer firefighters and first responders in New Jersey. It raises the annual credit from $600 to $1,250 per year of service, with a total maximum of $5,000 over four years (up from $2,400), for active members of volunteer fire companies or first aid/rescue squads, their spouses, and dependent children. The existing requirement that volunteers must agree to serve four years in exchange for the credit remains unchanged. The credit applies to tuition at county colleges, vocational schools, or technical institutes, subject to course availability.
