New Jersey A150 allows for layoffs based on essential skills rather than seniority in certain circumstances.

New Jersey A150 modifies civil service rules to allow for layoffs, demotions, or terminations based on essential skills rather than seniority. This applies to state, county, and municipal employees. When a less senior employee is laid off, demoted, or terminated, the appointing authority must certify that the less senior employee has specialized skills, licenses, certifications, or other qualifications that are essential to the operation and that the more senior employee does not possess.
