In plain language
Three definitions, and one of them changes what the rest of this subchapter is about. Agency means the New Jersey Civil Service Commission itself, not your employer and not a State department in general. So a grievance filed under 4A:1-5 is a grievance about the Commission complying with the Americans with Disabilities Act in its own services, programs and activities, which is a much narrower thing than the word agency suggests. Designated decision maker means the Chairperson or a designee, and that is who signs the written decision on a grievance under 4A:1-5.8. ADA means the Federal statute at 42 U.S.C. 12101 and following.
