Proposes constitutional amendment authorizing Legislature to extend civil service hiring preference to veterans who did not serve in time of war.
SCR 95 proposes a constitutional amendment to remove the requirement that veterans must have served "in time of war" to receive a civil service hiring preference in New Jersey. Currently, only veterans who served during wartime qualify for this preference when applying for state or local government jobs. If approved by voters, the amendment would allow the Legislature to extend this hiring preference to veterans who served during peacetime. This change would directly affect veterans with non-war military service, making them eligible for the same hiring advantage as wartime veterans.
