SR 37 New Jersey Senate · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Urges Congress and President to enact "College Cost Transparency and Student Protection Act."

This is a Senate resolution (SR 37), not a bill with policy provisions. It urges Congress and the President to pass the federal "College Cost Transparency and Student Protection Act" (H.R. 9429), which would standardize how colleges report financial aid offers. The resolution cites a GAO report finding that most schools fail to clearly show net costs, total expenses, or itemized fees in aid offers. New Jersey supports this federal action as it aligns with the state's own "shopping sheet" law requiring clearer cost transparency for students.
