S 1352 New Jersey Senate · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Prohibits remote work for State employees.

This bill prohibits remote work for New Jersey State employees in career, senior executive, and unclassified service positions. It amends state law to explicitly ban remote work eligibility, overriding the existing 2022 Model Telework Pilot Program that allowed up to two remote days weekly. The Civil Service Commission can no longer establish rules permitting remote work for these employee categories. The law takes immediate effect upon enactment.
