ASSEMBLY MILITARY AND VETERANS' AFFAIRS COMMITTEE

STATEMENT TO

SENATE, No. 275

STATE OF NEW JERSEY

DATED:  OCTOBER 8, 2020

      The Assembly Military and Veterans’ Affairs Committee reports favorably Senate Bill No. 275.

     P.L.1985, c.231 (C.18A:62-4.1) provides that any member of the United States military stationed in the State, as well as his dependents, are eligible for resident tuition rates at public institutions of higher education.  This bill extends that provision to the dependent child of United States military personnel who attended high school in New Jersey for a minimum of three years, regardless of where the dependent child resides upon enrollment in the institution.

     Senate Bill No. 275 is identical to Assembly Bill No. 2142 of 2020-2021.
