Bill Summary
The "New Jersey First Act" requires most public employees in New Jersey to be residents of the State. This bill exempts nonresident military spouses from the residency requirement. This bill defines "nonresident military spouse" as a nonresident of this State who is the spouse of an active duty member of the Armed Forces of the United States who has been transferred to this State in the course of the member's service, is legally domiciled in this State, or has moved to this State on a permanent change-of-station basis.
AI Summary
This bill amends the "New Jersey First Act," which generally requires public employees in New Jersey to reside in the state, by creating an exemption for "nonresident military spouses." A nonresident military spouse is defined as someone who lives outside of New Jersey but is married to an active duty member of the U.S. Armed Forces who has been transferred to New Jersey, is legally domiciled in New Jersey, or has moved to New Jersey for a permanent change of station.
