This bill mandates that the State Treasurer deduct from the State operating aid allocated to public research universities an amount equivalent to the costs incurred by these institutions in fulfilling agreements made with students protesting the Israel-Hamas conflict that began on October 7, 2023. The bill specifies that the deductions will cover various expenses, including the acceptance and aid for displaced Gazan students, the establishment of an Arab Cultural Center, partnerships with Birzeit University, hiring culturally competent administrators and additional professors in relevant fields, creating a center for Palestinian studies, displaying flags of designated foreign terrorist organizations, and providing amnesty to those involved in anti-Semitic protests.

The legislation is a response to student protests at Rutgers University-New Brunswick, where students have demanded institutional actions related to the conflict. The bill's sponsor argues that the agreements reached with the protesting students support a terrorist organization and that implementing these agreements would result in the use of taxpayer funds. The bill is set to take effect immediately upon passage.
