Introduced Text

New Jersey ACR98 proposes a constitutional amendment to allow the Legislature to extend civil service hiring preference to veterans who did not serve.

New Jersey ACR98 proposes an amendment to the state's Constitution to authorize the Legislature to extend civil service hiring preference to veterans who did not serve in time of war. Currently, only veterans who served in time of war receive a hiring preference when applying for civil service positions. This amendment would allow the Legislature to pass a law granting a civil service hiring preference to veterans who did not serve in time of war. The amendment would be submitted to the people at the next general election occurring more than three months after the final agreement.
