Eliminates residency requirement for public school employees for three years.

New Jersey A2525 removes the state residency requirement for public school employees for a period of three years. This bill amends the residency requirement established in 2011, which applies to all public officers and employees in the state, with certain exceptions. During the three-year period, individuals hired by school districts, charter schools, or renaissance school projects will not need to reside in New Jersey. The Department of Education must submit a report evaluating the effectiveness of this change, any unintended consequences, and recommendations for future legislation.
