ASSEMBLY STATE AND LOCAL GOVERNMENT COMMITTEE

STATEMENT TO

ASSEMBLY, No. 3941

STATE OF NEW JERSEY

DATED:  MAY 15, 2025

      The Assembly State and Local Government Committee reports favorably Assembly Bill No. 3941.

This bill changes the classification of State Investigators in civil service.  State Investigators employed with the Division of Criminal Justice in the Department of Law and Public Safety are currently in the unclassified service of the civil service.  In New Jersey, employees serving in classified titles receive the full protections of the civil service system, while unclassified employees do not.  This bill will allow all current and future State Investigators to receive those protections.
