Bill overview
This bill aims to ensure that students with disabilities at New Jersey public colleges and universities have access to necessary assistive services during class. Specifically, it requires institutions to provide tools like note-taking software or a scribe to help students record course material. However, the recording is intended solely for the student’s personal use and does not include access to tests or graded assignments. The law is designed to support academic success for students with disabilities.
