A 1751 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Creates New Jersey Servicemembers' Civil Relief Act.

The New Jersey Servicemembers' Civil Relief Act creates comprehensive protections for military members serving on active duty and their dependents. Key provisions include automatic stays of civil proceedings during service, a 6% interest rate cap on pre-service debts, protection against evictions and lease terminations, and employment protections upon return from service. The act also includes specific safeguards for insurance coverage, limits enforcement of judgments during service, and allows servicemembers to seek relief from financial obligations affected by military service. This legislation repeals the previous New Jersey Soldiers' and Sailors' Civil Relief Act of 1979 and aligns state protections with federal law.
