N.J.S.A. 11A:7-2 Division of Equal Employment Opportunity and Affirmative Action
A Division of Equal Employment Opportunity and Affirmative Action is established in the Department of the Treasury. The division shall have all of the… Implemented by a rule in N.J.A.C. Title 4A.
In plain language
A Division of Equal Employment Opportunity and Affirmative Action is established, and its placement is the notable part: in the Department of the Treasury, under the supervision and control of the State Treasurer, not inside the Civil Service Commission. It holds all the powers and duties this chapter sets out. One thing did NOT move with it in the 2008 reorganisation: the power to adjudicate complaints of violations of the State policy against discrimination stayed with the Civil Service Commission. So the body that administers the programme and the body that decides an individual complaint are different, and 11A:11-2 is where that split is written down.
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changes only when the Legislature amends it, so a section untouched since its last amendment is settled rather than out of date.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.
