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 service of the civil service. In New Jersey's civil service system, classified employees generally have greater job protections than those in the unclassified service, meaning this change will provide current and future State Investigators with these enhanced protections. The bill also mandates that the Division of Criminal Justice and the Civil Service Commission transfer all existing State Investigators from the unclassified to the classified service upon the bill's enactment.
