Excludes certain unemployment compensation recipients from paying civil service open competitive examination application and appeal fees.

This New Jersey bill (A 1794) waives civil service exam application and appeal fees for individuals receiving unemployment compensation benefits or whose benefits ended within the past six months. It directly affects unemployed New Jersey residents seeking state government jobs by removing a $25 application fee for open competitive exams and a $20 fee for appeals. The bill amends existing law to exempt these individuals from fees they would otherwise pay when applying for or appealing civil service positions. The policy change aims to reduce financial barriers for job seekers during unemployment, without altering benefit eligibility or creating new programs.
