The bill establishes the New Jersey Skills Service Corps within the Department of State, aimed at providing adult volunteers with opportunities to gain credentials while serving their communities. The program will connect volunteers with State entities to offer workforce experience and credentialing, and will be administered by the Office of Volunteerism. The Director of the Office of Volunteerism is tasked with setting procedures and standards for the program, ensuring it includes training and free credential certification, volunteer work in various sectors, and prioritizes participants from underserved communities. Eligible residents aged 18 and older can volunteer for up to 24 months, receiving a monthly stipend for at least 15 hours of service.

Additionally, the bill creates a dedicated non-lapsing fund, the New Jersey Skills Service Corps Fund, to support the program financially. This fund will consist of appropriated state funds, federal grants, investment earnings, and private contributions. The bill also defines "State entity" and "underserved community" to clarify the scope of the program. An appropriation from the General Fund is included to ensure the program's objectives can be met. The act is set to take effect immediately upon passage.
