Bill overview
This bill alters existing civil service rules in New Jersey, allowing state, county, and municipal governments to reduce staff during times of economic necessity, even if it means laying off more senior employees. It requires appointing authorities to demonstrate that less senior employees possess essential skills needed for continued operations. The bill also establishes a commission to oversee these reductions and mandates that counties and municipalities seek approval from the commission before implementing layoffs that don't follow seniority rules.
