Permits certain non-US citizen military service members to take civil service examinations and be eligible for civil service veterans preference.
This bill allows non-U.S. citizen military service members (who haven't renounced U.S. citizenship) to take New Jersey civil service exams and qualify for veterans' preference. It directly affects active-duty service members in the U.S. military who are not citizens but maintain U.S. citizenship status. Key provisions require these individuals to provide proof of U.S. citizenship 10 business days before employment lists are issued, and to meet standard veteran status criteria (discharge under honorable conditions, service records, etc.). The bill updates New Jersey's civil service rules to align with veterans' preference eligibility for this group during active service.
