Repeals law that requires funds for legislative agents to be assessed on student tuition bills in certain manner.
S 1669 repeals a 1995 law (P.L.1995, c.63) that prohibited public colleges and universities in New Jersey from adding funds for legislative agents or organizations to student tuition bills. The repealed law had allowed optional fees for nonpartisan student groups influencing legislation only if approved by a student referendum, with specific disclosure requirements on tuition statements. This bill removes that restriction, meaning institutions could now potentially assess such fees on tuition without the prior referendum requirement. It directly affects public higher education institutions and student organizations seeking to engage in legislative advocacy. The repeal takes effect immediately upon enactment.
