NJ A6182

Requires institutions of higher education with more than 2,000 full-time equivalent students to pay annual "community service contributions" to their host municipality for police, fire, EMS, traffic control, and event management services

Calculates contributions using a formula: $100 per on-campus resident student plus $50 per commuter student with a parking permit, with the per-student rate adjusted for inflation and reviewed every five years

Allows institutions to receive credits of up to 50% of the required contribution for documented community benefits such as fire/EMS staffing, funding municipal public safety positions, scholarships for local residents, or joint safety initiatives

Reduces the law enforcement portion of the contribution by 50% for institutions that maintain their own campus police department, with adjustments possible based on actual division of responsibilities

Requires municipalities to deposit funds into a dedicated University Host Services Fund and transfer 5% of contributions to the county; unpaid contributions accrue interest and municipalities may sue for noncompliance
