The proposed resolution seeks to amend the New Jersey Constitution to allow the Legislature to extend civil service hiring preferences to veterans who did not serve during wartime. Currently, only those veterans who served in times of war are eligible for such preferences when applying for civil service positions. The amendment aims to broaden this eligibility, enabling all veterans, regardless of their service period, to receive hiring preferences.

If the amendment is approved, it will be submitted to the public for a vote in the next general election, following the necessary procedural steps. The resolution outlines the process for how the proposed amendment will be presented to voters, including the wording that will appear on the official ballot. This change is intended to recognize the contributions of all veterans and provide them with greater opportunities in civil service employment.
