Eliminates weekly COVID-19 testing requirement for unvaccinated State employees.
This bill eliminates the requirement for unvaccinated New Jersey state employees to undergo regular (weekly) COVID-19 testing. It directly affects state employees who are unvaccinated against COVID-19, removing a mandatory testing policy previously enforced by state employers. The bill does not prevent employees from voluntarily getting tested or require testing for symptomatic employees regardless of vaccination status. The change takes effect immediately upon enactment.
