Amends State college law to remove certain employees from civil service system and allow boards of trustees to conduct collective bargaining.

This bill (S 423) changes employment rules for specific staff at New Jersey's public colleges. It removes certain professional academic, administrative, and teaching employees (as defined in existing law) from the state's civil service system and allows college boards of trustees to directly negotiate collective bargaining agreements with them. Currently, civil service rules govern these positions, but the bill would let boards set terms for these staff without those restrictions. The change affects staff at all 11 New Jersey state colleges, shifting bargaining authority from civil service regulations to individual college boards. It does not alter pay scales or working conditions but changes the process for establishing them.
