A 3285 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Allows person on police officer or firefighter eligible list who is unable to complete requirements for employment due to certain military service to have name placed on subsequent eligible list.

This bill (A3285) helps veterans who served in the National Guard or Reserves during specific military operations (after 9/11/2001) but couldn't complete police or firefighter hiring requirements due to their service. It requires that if a veteran passed the civil service exam but was delayed by at least 30 days of continuous active duty, their name must be placed on the next eligible list for the same job in order of their exam score. The bill also waives age requirements if the veteran met the age limit by the original exam closing date. This applies to veterans called to duty between 9/11/2001 and the end of designated operations.
