In plain language

Three parts, named separately, and the separation matters for everything that follows: the Chairperson, the Civil Service Commission itself, and whatever subdivisions the Chairperson decides are necessary. The whole apparatus sits in, but not of, the Department of Labor and Workforce Development, in the Executive Branch of State government. The next two sections split the work along exactly that line. 4A:1-3.2 gives the Chairperson the running of the agency; 4A:1-3.3 gives the Commission the deciding of appeals and the adopting of rules.

Written by the NJ Civil Service Navigator editorial team from the text of N.J.A.C. 4A:1-3.1. It is a description of the rule, not the rule itself, and not legal advice.
