Bill Summary

This bill applies the laws governing equal employment opportunity and affirmative action to gubernatorial transition staff. In 1969, New Jersey enacted "The Gubernatorial Transition Act" in order "to promote the orderly transfer of the executive power in connection with the expiration of the term of office of a Governor and the inauguration of a new Governor." Although staff members of the Governor-elect's transition office receive compensation through the Department of the Treasury, the act specifically states that members of the gubernatorial transition staff are not considered State employees, except with regard to the Public Employees' Retirement System and the New Jersey Conflicts of Interest Law. This bill would amend that law to also apply the laws governing equal employment opportunity and affirmative action to gubernatorial transition staff members.

AI Summary

This bill applies the laws governing equal employment opportunity and affirmative action to members of the gubernatorial transition staff in New Jersey. The Gubernatorial Transition Act, enacted in 1969, provides for the transfer of executive power during a gubernatorial transition, including authorizing funding for the Governor-elect's transition office. Under the current law, transition staff members are not considered state employees, except for the purposes of the Public Employees' Retirement System and the New Jersey Conflicts of Interest Law. This bill would amend the law to also apply equal employment opportunity and affirmative action requirements to the gubernatorial transition staff.
