A 3900 New Jersey General Assembly · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Permits paid leave by public officers and employees for inactive duty military training.

This bill expands paid leave for New Jersey public employees who serve in military reserves or National Guard. Currently, state/local government workers in federal reserve units get up to 30 paid work days per year for active duty training, while National Guard members get up to 90 days for active duty. The bill adds required inactive duty training (like routine drills) to these qualifying activities under the same annual limits. Public employers, including school districts, will be reimbursed by the state for any increased costs from this change.
