This bill mandates that school districts in New Jersey, which receive 70 percent or more of their revenue from State aid, must publicly disclose specific information regarding out-of-State travel expenditures on their official websites. The required disclosures include travel vouchers, itemized expenses for transportation, meals, lodging, and registration fees, as well as the total number of employees and board members reimbursed for such travel during the school year. Additionally, the districts must provide details about the titles, dates, and summaries of the out-of-State events attended by their personnel, along with any other information deemed necessary by the Commissioner of Education.

The legislation aims to enhance transparency and accountability in how school districts utilize State funds for travel. By requiring this information to be readily accessible online, the bill seeks to inform taxpayers and stakeholders about the financial implications of out-of-State travel by school district employees and board members. The act is set to take effect immediately upon passage.
