Requires use of prior military service to extend maximum age for appointment to State Police.
This bill amends New Jersey's State Police hiring rules to extend the maximum age for appointment. Currently, applicants must be under 35. The bill allows the maximum age to increase by one year for each year of active military service (up to a six-year extension, making the maximum age 41). It directly affects veterans seeking to join the New Jersey State Police who are over 35 but have military service. The change aims to leverage veterans' skills by expanding recruitment opportunities under existing hiring standards.
