In plain language
Each agency files a plan with goals and timetables, plus quarterly and annual reports to the director. The plan is not a statement of intent: it has to identify the inequities that exist in hiring, promotion and every other condition of employment, give specific remedies for each, and set the period within which the remedy will be accomplished. The standard applied to the agency afterwards is good faith effort toward its goals and timetables, which is the phrase 11A:7-9 then attaches penalties to.
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. Never amended since.
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changes only when the Legislature amends it, so a section untouched since its last amendment is settled rather than out of date.
