S 509 New Jersey Senate · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Eliminates weekly COVID-19 testing requirement for unvaccinated State employees.

This bill eliminates the requirement for unvaccinated New Jersey state employees to undergo weekly COVID-19 testing.

The law does not affect testing requirements for employees showing symptoms of COVID-19, regardless of vaccination status. The bill takes effect immediately upon enactment.
