Establishes New Jersey Community Learning Program to provide after school programs in communities impacted by cannabis criminalization.

The bill establishes the New Jersey Community Learning Program in the Department of Education to support comprehensive after school programs in communities most impacted by the criminalization of cannabis. These programs aim to close the achievement gap and provide services during non-school hours, including summer recess. The program would be funded by a portion of the annual State revenues collected from the retail sale of recreational cannabis products. Each impact district must conduct public hearings and submit a program plan to the commissioner for approval.
