Requires use of prior military service to extend maximum age for appointment to State Police.
This bill amends New Jersey's State Police hiring rules to extend the maximum age limit for applicants with military service. Currently, applicants must be under 35; this bill allows the maximum age to increase by one year for each year of active military service, up to a total six-year extension (max age 41). It directly affects veterans seeking to join the New Jersey State Police by making them eligible at older ages. The change applies to all applicants who completed active duty service in any U.S. military branch, without requiring additional qualifications beyond the existing fitness and examination standards.
