SR 66 New Jersey Senate · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Urges Governor to resume in-person services at DOLWD.

This Senate Resolution (SR 66) urges the Governor to safely resume in-person services at New Jersey's Department of Labor and Workforce Development (DOLWD), which have been closed since March 2020 due to the pandemic. It specifically targets vulnerable groups - such as elderly, low-income, and disabled residents - who face challenges using remote services for unemployment claims and career support. The resolution cites declining COVID-19 cases and the need to restore access to One-Stop Career Centers and unemployment claim processing, noting that 54% of pandemic-related job losses remained unrecovered as of March 2021. It also calls for DOLWD to fully staff all public-facing offices. As a non-binding resolution, it requests action but does not create new law.
