S 1064 New Jersey Senate · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Establishes mandatory training program for human resources officers of public employers on handling and responding to reports of domestic violence.

S 1064 requires the Civil Service Commission to create a mandatory training program for human resources officers working at public employers (such as state agencies, counties, schools, and municipalities) on handling domestic violence reports from employees. The training covers topics like the impact of domestic violence, protection orders, the New Jersey Security and Financial Empowerment Act, and community support resources, and must be developed with input from social workers and law enforcement. All human resources officers must complete the training within 90 days of starting their role, and the program must be reviewed and updated every two years. The training is free and available to all public employers, regardless of whether they follow standard civil service rules.
