Bill Summary
This joint resolution urges the United States Department of Defense and the New Jersey Civil Service Commission to work together to permit deployed military service members to take civil service examinations while deployed. The ability to participate in civil service examinations during deployment would result in service members being in the civil service system when an employment eligibility list is requested by a public employer seeking to hire, increasing their chances of finding employment after their service. Service members would still need to provide proof of veteran status no later than eight days prior to the issuance of an employment list to receive a hiring preference.
AI Summary
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 who are deployed overseas to take civil service examinations while they are away. The CSC is the state agency responsible for administering civil service exams, which are tests used to determine eligibility for public sector jobs. By enabling deployed service members to take these exams, the resolution aims to ensure they are on civil service eligibility lists when public employers are hiring, thereby improving their chances of securing employment upon their return. Service members will still need to provide proof of their veteran status within eight days of an employment list being issued to receive any hiring preference.
