Overview
This bill allows members of the New Jersey National Guard to transfer a portion of their tuition benefits to their spouse or dependent child. Currently, National Guard members can receive tuition-free credits at public colleges, but this bill expands eligibility to include family members. The bill limits transfers to one person and specifies the number of tuition-free credits available to the recipient – 16 credits for a spouse and 8 credits for a dependent child. This change aims to support National Guard families pursuing higher education.
