NJ A5676

Repeals New Jersey laws (P.L.2013, c.170 and P.L.2018, c.12) that allowed undocumented immigrants who attended and graduated from New Jersey high schools to qualify for in-state tuition rates and state financial aid at public colleges and universities

Eliminates the pathway that permitted undocumented students to receive higher education benefits by attending high school in the state for three or more years, graduating from a New Jersey high school, and filing an affidavit stating they had applied or would apply to legalize their immigration status

Preserves in-state tuition eligibility for students holding T visas (trafficking victims) or U visas (crime victims), and dependents of H-1B, O-1, or O-2 visa holders, provided they meet the three-year high school attendance and graduation requirements

Maintains state financial aid eligibility for T and U visa holders who meet the specified high school attendance and graduation criteria

Takes effect immediately upon enactment
