N.J.S.A. 11A:6-29 Awards committee
The New Jersey Employee Awards Committee shall be established within the Civil Service Commission. The committee shall be composed of seven persons, e… Implemented by a rule in N.J.A.C. Title 4A.
In plain language
The New Jersey Employee Awards Committee, seven people each employed in a different Executive Branch department. That one-per-department rule is the design: it stops the committee becoming the property of any single department. Appointments are made by the Governor FROM NOMINATIONS BY THE COMMISSION, for staggered three-year terms or until a successor is appointed, with no more than two consecutive full terms. Members are unpaid but reimbursed for necessary expenses, and the Commission designates an employee as executive secretary.
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. 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changes only when the Legislature amends it, so a section untouched since its last amendment is settled rather than out of date.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.
