Applies law governing equal employment opportunity and affirmative action to gubernatorial transition staff members.

This bill (A2050) would extend New Jersey's equal employment opportunity and affirmative action laws to staff members hired during gubernatorial transitions. Currently, these transition staff are not considered state employees under these laws, despite receiving state-funded compensation. The bill amends P.L.1969, c.213 to explicitly include transition staff under the same protections as regular state employees for hiring, promotion, and workplace discrimination. This change ensures that hiring and employment practices for these staff must comply with state EEO and affirmative action requirements.
