Requires State employees work in person if job requires face-to-face interaction with public; requires State agency provide alternatives if closure is unpreventable.
This bill requires New Jersey state employees whose jobs involve face-to-face public interaction (like in-person services at state offices) to return to in-person work during the ongoing pandemic emergency. State agencies must publish safety plans within 15 business days of the bill's enactment, detailing protective measures like PPE, cleaning protocols, social distancing, and accommodations for high-risk employees. If an office must temporarily close, agencies must provide public alternatives such as virtual services or mobile units. The bill expires when the state's declared public health emergency ends.
