N.J.S.A. 11A:6-31 Powers and duties of the committee
The committee shall: a. Adopt rules for the implementation of the awards programs, subject to the approval of the commission; b. Request and receive a… Implemented by a rule in N.J.A.C. Title 4A.
In plain language
Four duties, and the fourth is the one that gives the committee reach. Adopt rules for the awards programmes, subject to the Commission approving them. Request and receive assistance from any department in State government, which is what lets seven people actually investigate a suggestion. Prepare an annual report to the Governor, through the Commission. And establish and supervise the awards committees in the individual State departments, so this body sits above a network rather than working alone.
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changes only when the Legislature amends it, so a section untouched since its last amendment is settled rather than out of date.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.
