N.J.S.A. 11A:2-4 Removal of a commission member other than chairperson of the commission
A commission member other than the chairperson of the commission may be removed from office by the Governor for cause, upon notice and an opportunity … Amended 1 time since 1986.
In plain language
A member other than the chairperson can be removed by the Governor, but only for cause, and only after notice and an opportunity to be heard. Someone removed is paid up to the date of removal and no further. Two things follow from what the section leaves out. The chairperson is not covered by it. And "for cause" is not defined here, so what counts is worked out case by case rather than from a list.
Written by the NJ Civil Service Navigator editorial team from the text of this section. The statute itself is below, unabridged.
Current through the close of the 221st Legislature (L. 2025, c. 346). What that means
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changes only when the Legislature amends it, so a section untouched since its last amendment is settled rather than out of date.
