This bill aims to extend seniority service credit for military service to educational support professionals in New Jersey, similar to the existing provisions for teaching staff members. Specifically, it stipulates that educational support professionals who have served in the active military and are eligible for federal veterans' benefits will receive up to four years of equivalent employment or seniority credit for their military service. This credit can include service time that occurred before their employment as educational support professionals.

The legislation seeks to recognize the contributions of educational support professionals by allowing them to count their military service towards their seniority, thereby enhancing their employment benefits. The bill is set to take effect immediately upon passage.
