A 720 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Eliminates weekly COVID-19 testing requirement for unvaccinated State employees.

This bill eliminates the requirement for New Jersey state employers to mandate weekly COVID-19 testing for unvaccinated state employees. It directly affects all unvaccinated employees working for state agencies or institutions. Key provisions state that state employers can no longer enforce periodic testing or proof of negative tests for unvaccinated staff, though employees may still choose to test voluntarily. The bill also preserves the ability for employers to require testing for any symptomatic employee, regardless of vaccination status. The change takes effect immediately upon enactment.
