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 have 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 benefit from hiring preferences in civil service roles.

If the amendment is approved, it will be submitted to the public for a vote in the next general election, following the required publication and notification procedures. The proposed change would modify Article VII, Section I, paragraph 2 of the New Jersey Constitution, ensuring that the law can determine the eligibility criteria for veterans seeking civil service positions, thereby promoting inclusivity for all veterans in the hiring process.
