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 granted 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 necessary legislative agreement. The resolution outlines the process for public notification and voting, ensuring that the proposed changes are clearly communicated to the electorate. This initiative reflects a commitment to recognizing the service of all veterans and providing them with equitable opportunities in public employment.
