Sen. Kristin Corrado

Maddy summaryThis bill allows New Jersey county clerks to remove voters from mail-in ballot lists under three specific conditions: if USPS returns their ballot mail, they haven't used mail-in ballots for two years, or their address changed (per USPS records). Before removal, clerks must send a 30-day written notice explaining the reason and how to reapply. Voters who don't respond within 30 days are removed and receive a reapplication form. The bill directly affects voters currently enrolled in mail-in voting who no longer meet the criteria for continued mail delivery.

Maddy summaryThis bill, S 1364, provides New Jersey veterans with tuition-free education at their local county college for up to 60 credits. To qualify, veterans must be New Jersey residents who served honorably in the military and apply for all available state, federal, and VA benefits (including the Post-9/11 GI Bill) before receiving this tuition waiver. Military service credits earned at the college count toward the 60-credit limit. The benefit applies only to tuition, not other fees, and takes effect for the first full academic year after enactment.

Maddy summaryS 3529 criminalizes the use of signal jammers in New Jersey - devices that block cell phone calls, texts, GPS signals, Wi-Fi, or emergency communications. The bill amends state law to make interfering with FCC-licensed radio communications or U.S. government communications a fourth-degree crime, aligning with existing federal prohibitions. It directly affects individuals and businesses using these devices, such as those blocking cellular service in vehicles or workplaces. The law does not create new federal rules but enforces current federal restrictions at the state level.

Maddy summaryThis bill (A3739) makes it a fourth-degree crime in New Jersey to use devices that block or interfere with wireless communications, such as cell phones, Wi-Fi, GPS, or emergency services. It directly affects anyone using "signal jammers" (also called signal blockers or cell phone jammers), which prevent calls, texts, or emergency location signals. The law updates existing state law to explicitly prohibit interfering with radio communications licensed under federal law, including blocking cellular frequencies or using modified scanning receivers. These devices are already illegal under federal law, but this bill strengthens state enforcement by adding specific language to criminalize their use. The key provision ensures that jamming technology cannot disrupt public safety communications or commercial services.

Maddy summaryThis bill establishes the Office of Disordered Eating Prevention within New Jersey's Department of Health and creates a related research grant program. The office must create public resources about disordered eating (including culturally sensitive materials in multiple languages), partner with schools and mental health programs, and administer grants to fund research on disordered eating's causes and risk factors across all age groups. The grant program provides funding to eligible organizations for research focused on prevention, particularly for communities disproportionately affected like people of color, LGBTQ+ individuals, youth, and older residents. The office is required to submit annual reports to the governor and legislature detailing its activities and grant program outcomes.

Maddy summaryThis bill requires New Jersey's Department of Children and Families (DCF) to expand the existing NJ Statewide Student Support Services program to include eating disorder awareness, prevention, and counseling services for students in grades K-12. Regional hubs (15 service providers contracted by DCF) must first assess community needs for eating disorder services and determine if current services meet student needs. Based on this assessment, hubs must develop policies to provide tiered services - ranging from universal workshops (Tier 1) to clinical support (Tier 3) - tailored to student needs. The DCF must adopt implementing rules, and the changes take effect three months after enactment.

Maddy summaryThis bill eliminates a $15 fee for special license plates designated for firefighters and members of first aid or rescue squads in New Jersey. It directly affects compensated, partially compensated, and volunteer members of fire departments or first aid/rescue squads who currently pay this fee in addition to standard vehicle registration costs. The bill amends existing law (P.L.1977, c.369) to remove the $15 charge, meaning applicants will only pay standard vehicle registration fees. The special plates (featuring a Maltese Cross with "F.D." for firefighters or a similar design for first aid/rescue members) remain available under the same eligibility rules.

Maddy summaryThis bill requires New Jersey's Department of Children and Families (DCF) to expand the existing NJ Statewide Student Support Services program to include eating disorder awareness, prevention, and counseling services for students in grades K-12. It directs the 15 regional service hubs contracted with DCF to first assess community needs for these services and then develop policies to provide them through a three-tiered system: universal workshops for all students (Tier 1), targeted group programs (Tier 2), and individual clinical support for those in need (Tier 3). The program would integrate these services into current school-based mental health support structures without creating new entities. The bill applies directly to K-12 students and their families across New Jersey through existing school support networks.

Maddy summaryS 3447 establishes a Special Education Transportation Task Force to study and recommend best practices for transporting students receiving special education services in New Jersey. The 18-member task force includes education officials, disability advocates, school staff, and parents, and will examine safety protocols, medical emergency response, equipment access, and staff training for these students. It must issue recommendations to the Governor and Legislature within 12 months of forming, focusing on reviewing current policies and identifying areas for improvement. The bill does not change existing laws but directs the task force to study transportation challenges without implementing immediate changes.

Maddy summaryS 3366 eliminates a $15 fee for special license plates designated for firefighters and members of first aid or rescue squads in New Jersey. The bill amends existing law (P.L.1977, c.369) to remove the additional charge, meaning eligible members will no longer pay extra for these plates beyond standard vehicle registration fees. It directly affects compensated, partially compensated, or volunteer firefighters and first aid/rescue squad members who apply for these plates. The change applies immediately upon enactment, requiring no additional cost for the special plate design.
