This bill proposes the elimination of the weekly COVID-19 testing requirement for unvaccinated State employees in New Jersey. Specifically, it states that State employers cannot enforce a policy that mandates unvaccinated employees to undergo periodic COVID-19 testing or provide proof of a negative test result. However, the bill clarifies that it does not prevent employees from voluntarily choosing to test for COVID-19, nor does it restrict employers from requiring testing for employees who exhibit symptoms of the virus, regardless of their vaccination status.

The bill is designed to provide more flexibility for unvaccinated State employees while still allowing for necessary health precautions in the workplace. It is set to take effect immediately upon enactment.
