Establishes mandatory training program for human resources officers of public employers on handling and responding to reports of domestic violence.
S 99 requires all human resources officers in New Jersey public employers (state, county, municipal, school district, and other government entities) to complete a mandatory, free domestic violence training program within 90 days of hire. The training, developed by the Civil Service Commission, covers domestic violence dynamics, protection orders, the "New Jersey Security and Financial Empowerment Act," and community resources for victims. Public employers must ensure HR staff complete the training, with the Commission reviewing and updating the curriculum biennially. This policy directly affects HR officers in public workplaces by standardizing how they handle employee reports of domestic violence.
