N.J.S.A. 11A:3-6 Public hearing required when moving title from career to unclassified service
Whenever the Civil Service Commission considers moving a title from the career service to the unclassified service, the Civil Service Commission shall… Implemented by a rule in N.J.A.C. Title 4A.
In plain language
One sentence, with real force. Before the Commission can move a title out of the career service and into the unclassified service, it has to hold a public hearing, and the hearing comes first. A title moved this way loses the examination requirement and the tenure protections that go with career status, so the effect on whoever holds it is substantial. The hearing is the point at which that becomes visible to anyone outside the Commission.
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changes only when the Legislature amends it, so a section untouched since its last amendment is settled rather than out of date.

The rules that implement this section
A statute sets the framework and the Civil Service Commission’s rules fill in the detail. Where a question turns on procedure, the rule usually governs; where it turns on who is covered or what the Commission may do, the statute does.
