New Jersey A4389 allows public higher education institutions to enroll students impacted by automation in job training courses without tuition.

New Jersey A4389 mandates that public institutions of higher education permit individuals who have been unemployed for at least two years due to factory or plant closures or automation to enroll in job training courses without paying tuition. This applies to those not eligible for state or federal student financial aid, provided classroom space is available and the minimum number of tuition-paying students is met. The bill extends this benefit to individuals displaced by automation. Institutions may still charge a registration fee not exceeding $20 per academic term.
