N.J.S.A. 11A:3-2.2 Certain transfers, appointments prohibited
No title shall be transferred from the State unclassified service or the senior executive service to the noncompetitive division of the career service…
In plain language
For the last six months of a Governor's four-year term, nothing moves into the noncompetitive division of the career service from either the State unclassified service or the senior executive service. That applies to titles and to people: a title cannot be transferred in, and an individual serving in one of those services cannot be transferred or appointed in. A transfer or appointment that breaks this rule is void, which means it has no effect rather than merely being reversible.
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. 1993, c. 371. Never amended since.
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changes only when the Legislature amends it, so a section untouched since its last amendment is settled rather than out of date.
Reviewed as of July 28, 2026. Official text: njleg.state.nj.us.
No title shall be transferred from the State unclassified service or the senior executive service to the noncompetitive division of the career service and no individual serving in a title in the State unclassified service or the senior executive service shall be transferred to or appointed to the noncompetitive division of the career service during the six-month period immediately preceding the termination of the Governor’s four-year term. A transfer or appointment which violates the provisions of this section is void.
