Permits union officials who represent probation officers to participate in all union activities.
This bill permits union officials representing probation officers, supervisors, and related judicial staff to participate in all union activities - including lobbying, spending union funds, and partisan political activities - while on full-time leave under existing law (N.J.S.11A:6-12). It directly affects union officers for judicial probation units in New Jersey, removing a previous restriction on their involvement in these activities. The law overrides other provisions that previously deemed such participation improper. It takes effect immediately upon enactment.
