N.J.S.A. 11A:2-5 Compensation
A commission member, other than the chairperson of the commission, shall receive a salary as fixed by law and shall also be entitled to sums incurred … Amended 1 time since 1986.
In plain language
Members other than the chairperson are paid a salary fixed by law and reimbursed for necessary expenses. The chairperson's salary is set by the Governor instead. The same split appears in the removal provision, where the chairperson is again carved out, and together the two sections make the chair a different kind of office from the other four seats: appointed by the Governor, paid at the Governor's determination, and not removable under 11A:2-4.
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changes only when the Legislature amends it, so a section untouched since its last amendment is settled rather than out of date.
