A 1820 New Jersey General Assembly · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Requires official inspection facility employees covered by collective bargaining agreement to be offered employment following contract renewal or award of new contract; requires collective bargaining agreement to be binding in certain cases.

This bill requires private contractors operating New Jersey's motor vehicle inspection facilities to offer full-time employment to eligible employees of the New Jersey Motor Vehicle Commission who lose their jobs due to contract outsourcing. The number of job offers must be proportional to the contractor's share of inspection lanes (e.g., a contractor operating 30% of lanes must offer jobs to 30% of affected employees). It also mandates that collective bargaining agreements covering these employees remain binding under the new contract. This policy directly affects state employees working in motor vehicle inspection facilities when operations transition to private contractors.
