Lowers the net present value savings threshold for refinancing school district debt in New Jersey.

The bill amends current law to lower the threshold for refinancing school district debt from three percent to two percent net present value savings. This change applies to school districts seeking to refinance outstanding debt as a condition of receiving state aid. The bill also mandates that districts maximize participation in federal and state programs like the E-rate, ACT telecommunications, and Special Education Medicaid Initiative (SEMI) Program. The changes take effect immediately and apply to the first full school year following enactment.
