Permits full-time college students to be district board members in their college county regardless of residency.

New Jersey A3798 amends the law to allow U.S. citizens enrolled as full-time students at an institution of higher education in a county to apply for membership on a district board in that county, even if they are not residents of the county or state. The bill maintains existing qualifications for applicants, including age, residency, and educational requirements. It also ensures that no one is precluded from applying due to voting ineligibility.
