S 1919 New Jersey Senate · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Requires use of prior military service to extend maximum age for appointment to State Police.

This bill extends the maximum age limit for appointment to the New Jersey State Police. Under current law, applicants must be under 35; this bill allows the age limit to increase by one year for each year of active military service (up to a maximum six-year extension). It directly affects veterans seeking to join the State Police, as their military service time counts toward the age cap. The change applies automatically based on verified military service records without requiring additional application steps.
