A 4421 New Jersey General Assembly · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Requires public institution of higher education to annually submit capital projects report to Secretary of Higher Education; requires secretary to post reports on website.

This bill requires all New Jersey public universities and colleges - including Rutgers, NJIT, Rowan, Montclair State, Kean, and county colleges - to submit annual capital projects reports by January 1st. The reports must detail active construction or planning projects (including location, cost, funding sources, bond issuance plans, and progress). The Secretary of Higher Education must then post these reports on a public website for easy access. This creates transparency around how public funds are spent on campus infrastructure projects.
