This bill mandates that each institution of higher education in New Jersey designate at least one employee to act as a student parent liaison. The primary responsibilities of this liaison include ensuring that student parents are informed about and can access essential services that support their academic success. Specifically, the liaison must provide information regarding academic support services, student academic success strategies, and any other resources tailored to meet the unique needs of student parents. Additionally, the liaison will serve as the main point of contact for student parents who require accommodations or leave related to parenting.

Furthermore, the bill stipulates that the contact information for the student parent liaison must be readily available on the institution's website, ensuring easy access for student parents. This initiative aims to enhance the support system for student parents, facilitating their academic journey while balancing parenting responsibilities. The act is set to take effect on the first day of the fourth month following its enactment.
