Extends the pilot program to examine the effects of waiving the state civil service examination fee
S 4320 extends a pilot program waiving civil service examination fees until December 31, 2027. The program currently allows fee waivers for unemployed job seekers primarily responsible for household support or receiving public assistance, and for all veterans (as defined by the bill, including those honorably discharged or with qualifying conditions). This extension maintains the same eligibility rules and applies to all civil service examinations held between July 1, 2023, and December 31, 2027. The bill does not change the fee waiver criteria but prolongs the temporary program for two additional years.
