This bill mandates that institutions of higher education in New Jersey collect and report specific information regarding student parents. Each institution is required to submit an annual report to the Secretary of Higher Education by July 1, detailing the number of full-time and part-time student parents enrolled, categorized by demographic subgroups, as well as data on their academic outcomes, including transfer, withdrawal, and graduation rates. Additionally, the institutions must make this report accessible on their websites.

The Secretary of Higher Education will compile the data from these reports into an annual summary, which will also be posted online. The bill emphasizes the confidentiality of the data collected, ensuring compliance with the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act and other relevant laws, prohibiting the inclusion of personal identifying information. The definition of "student parent" is specified as an undergraduate student who is a parent or legal guardian of a child under 18 years of age. The act is set to take effect immediately upon passage.
