A 3206 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Permits certain non-US citizen military service members to take civil service examinations and be eligible for civil service veterans preference.

This bill allows non-U.S. citizen military service members who did not renounce or lose U.S. citizenship to take civil service exams for New Jersey state jobs and qualify for veterans' preference. It requires these individuals to provide proof of U.S. citizenship within 10 business days before an employment list is issued to be included on that list. To receive veterans' preference, they must also prove honorable discharge, meet veteran status criteria as if they were citizens, and submit service records to the Adjutant General. The bill updates civil service rules to include these service members in eligibility for state jobs and hiring preferences.
