In plain language
A second set of findings, broader than the first. Persons with disabilities are an underrepresented and untapped part of the labor pool, and the State, as New Jersey's largest employer, should promote awareness of them as a valued resource and work to attract, engage and retain them. It is appropriate that the State move toward becoming a model employer. Where 11A:7-13.1 justified a specific hiring route for people with significant disabilities, this one justifies a program aimed at the State's own conduct as an employer.
