The bill amends current educational requirements in New Jersey by prohibiting the State Board of Education from requiring candidates for instructional certificates to complete a Commissioner of Education-approved test of basic reading, writing, and mathematics skills, such as the Praxis Core Academic Skills for Educators test. This change applies to all instructional certificates except for limited certificates of eligibility or those with advanced standing. Additionally, the bill prohibits educator preparation programs from requiring this test as a condition for admission.

Furthermore, the bill includes a provision for the State Board of Education to adopt necessary rules and regulations to implement these changes in accordance with the "Administrative Procedure Act." It also repeals a previous law, P.L.2023, c.180, and establishes an effective date for the new provisions, with certain sections taking effect immediately upon enactment.
