NJ A570

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

Current law requires undocumented students to attend New Jersey high school for at least three years, graduate or obtain equivalent diploma, and file an affidavit stating they have applied or will 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.

Students with T or U visas would remain eligible for state financial aid, grants, and scholarship programs under the same high school attendance and graduation criteria.

Takes effect immediately upon enactment.
