Overview
This bill removes the requirement that New Jersey public officers and employees, with limited exceptions, must reside in the state. Previously, this requirement applied to many state officials and employees. The bill maintains the residency requirement for the Governor, legislators, executive branch heads, and judicial officials, but eliminates it for most other public employees. It also includes provisions for exemptions based on critical need or hardship, and addresses the impact on higher education positions.
