Bill > AJR90

This joint resolution urges the United States Department of Defense (DOD) and the New Jersey Civil Service Commission (CSC) to collaborate and allow military service members to take civil service examinations while they are deployed. The resolution recognizes that service members currently cannot participate in civil service tests during active duty, which limits their employment opportunities after returning from military service. By enabling deployed military personnel to take these examinations, the resolution aims to increase their chances of finding employment when they return home by ensuring they are in the civil service system when public employers request employment eligibility lists. The resolution highlights the sacrifices made by military service members and seeks to provide them with additional support in transitioning back to civilian employment. It calls for the DOD to coordinate with the CSC so that military branches and commanding officers can proctor civil service examinations, potentially using existing computer-based testing methods for management and supervisory positions. If passed, copies of the resolution will be sent to New Jersey's congressional representatives, the DOD Secretary, the New Jersey Department of Military and Veterans Affairs, and the CSC chair.
