This bill mandates that the governing board of each institution of higher education in New Jersey must create and implement a policy regarding the use of campus facilities and grounds for camping. The policy will stipulate that any individual or group wishing to camp on the campus must first obtain approval from the institution.
Additionally, the bill provides a definition of camping, which includes activities such as pitching tents or using sleeping bags, blankets, makeshift shelters, motor homes, campers, or camp trailers for overnight stays. The legislation is set to take effect immediately upon passage.
