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. State employers can no longer mandate periodic testing or proof of negative tests for unvaccinated staff, though employees may still choose to test voluntarily. 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.
