July 1 | NJ Legislature goes on recess
The New Jersey Legislature is on recess as of July 1, so there is currently no movement on this bill. We believe the legislature will return on November 5, 2025. You may still contact your Assemblyman even though the legislature is on recess.
June 16 | Bill is filed
Assembly Bill 5796 was introduced on June 16. It calls for every homeschooled child and parent to meet annually with a school official for a “general health and wellness check.”
If either is your assemblyman, please call, email, or visit Assemblyman Cody Miller or Assemblyman Sterley Stanley, the sponsors of the bill. (Not sure of your assemblyman? Check here.)
Remember to be courteous. Your message can be as simple as: “Please withdraw A. 5796. It presumes that homeschooling parents are failing to properly care for children.”
