Introduced Text

New Jersey S1621 allows public institutions of higher education to assess waivable fees for legislative agents and organizations on student tuition.

New Jersey S1621 amends current law to permit public institutions of higher education to assess funds for legislative agents and organizations on student tuition bills as waivable fees. These fees appear as separately assessed items but are not mandatory charges. Students have the option to waive these fees. The bill eliminates the prior requirement for a majority student vote to authorize such fees. A waivable fee must be accompanied by a statement detailing its nature, the option to waive it, and that its presence does not reflect the institution's endorsement.
