Bill Summary
This bill changes the classification of State Investigators in civil service. State Investigators employed with the Division of Criminal Justice in the Department of Law and Public Safety are currently in the unclassified service of the civil service. In New Jersey, employees serving in classified titles receive the full protections of the civil service system, while unclassified employees do not. This bill will allow all current and future State Investigators to receive those protections.
AI Summary
This bill amends existing law to reclassify State Investigators within the Division of Criminal Justice in the Department of Law and Public Safety from the "unclassified service" to the "classified title" of the civil service, meaning these investigators will now receive the full protections and benefits of the civil service system, unlike their previous status where they did not. The bill also mandates that all current and future State Investigators will be part of this classified service, and the Division of Criminal Justice and the Civil Service Commission are required to transition all existing State Investigators from the unclassified to the classified service upon the bill's enactment.
