A 3653 New Jersey General Assembly · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Requires preservation of employee benefits and contractual rights as condition of sale of Atlantic City International Airport.

This bill requires that if the South Jersey Transportation Authority (SJTA) sells or leases the Atlantic City International Airport, the sale or lease terms must preserve employees' existing rights and benefits. Specifically, it mandates that employees retain all benefits under current union contracts, civil service status (if applicable), pension credits, and accumulated leave (such as sick or vacation time) transferred to the new owner or operator. The bill also requires that current employee representatives continue to serve affected employees until they choose new representatives through formal processes. These provisions directly protect SJTA airport employees and their employment conditions during ownership changes.
