N.J.S.A. 11A:5-13 World War soldiers in employment of a county, municipality or school district; promotion
A soldier who served in the Army of the United States during the war between the United States and Germany, who holds the French Medaille Militaire, t… Amended 1 time since 1986.
In plain language
A provision frozen in 1926 and never repealed. A soldier who served in the Army during the war between the United States and Germany, who holds the French Medaille Militaire and the Croix de Guerre with Palm, with Silver Star and with Bronze Star, and who was employed by a county, municipality or school district under this title on 26 March 1926, is eligible for promotion without complying with any Commission rule. Nobody alive meets it. It survives as published law, and it is a good illustration of why a repealer list is worth reading before assuming a section has been superseded.
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changes only when the Legislature amends it, so a section untouched since its last amendment is settled rather than out of date.
