The bill establishes a Wine and Grape Education Grant Program under the direction of the Secretary of Higher Education, aimed at supporting four-year public institutions in New Jersey to create or enhance degree and certificate programs in wine and grape science, which includes grape growing, wine making, and business operations. The program is allocated $1.5 million, with each selected institution eligible to receive a grant of up to $500,000. Institutions must submit applications detailing their plans for program establishment or expansion, partnerships with local wineries, and the expected number of participating students. The Secretary will select three institutions from different regions of the state to participate in the program.

Additionally, the bill allows students under the age of 21 to enroll in these programs, provided they do not participate in any coursework or events involving the consumption of alcohol. The Secretary is also required to submit a report to the Governor and the Legislature six months before the program's conclusion, detailing its implementation, the number of students supported, and recommendations for future actions regarding the program.
