N.J.S.A. 11A:10-4 Action for enforcement

The Civil Service Commission or other party in interest may bring an action in the Superior Court for the enforcement of this title or an order of the… Implemented by a rule in N.J.A.C. Title 4A.

Title 11A · Chapter 10. Employee Violations and Penalties

In plain language

Enforcement can go to court. The Commission may bring an action in the Superior Court to enforce Title 11A or one of its own orders, and so may any other party in interest. That second phrase is doing most of the work: enforcement does not depend on the Commission choosing to act. An employee, a union or anyone else with a real stake can go directly to the Superior Court.

Enacted by L. 1986, c. 112, effective September 25, 1986. Last amended by L. 2008, c. 29, effective June 30, 2008.

A New Jersey statute changes only when the Legislature amends it, so a section untouched since its last amendment is settled rather than out of date.
