Students must disclose and cite AI use under uniform district citation standards, including the prompt used or a link to the chat transcript where feasible.

New Jersey S3952/A3929, the Fair Pricing and Transparency Act, cleared the Senate 22-14 and Assembly 51-20-1 on June 30, 2026 and is enrolled to Governor Sherrill awaiting her signature.

The bill also imposes a one-year moratorium on electronic shelf labels (ESLs) to prevent rollout of technology enabling real-time personalized pricing. If signed, it would take effect one year after signing and make New Jersey the third state to restrict surveillance pricing in grocery stores, following Maryland and Connecticut.
