N.J.S.A. 11A:9-1 Application
This title shall apply to any political subdivision to which the provisions of Title 11 of the Revised Statutes and the supplements thereto applied im… Implemented by a rule in N.J.A.C. Title 4A.
In plain language
Two ways a local employer ends up under this title. Either it was already covered by the old Title 11 immediately before that title was repealed in 1986, in which case coverage carried straight over, or it adopts Title 11A afterwards by the referendum process the rest of this chapter sets out. There is no third route and no discretion in it, which is why whether a given New Jersey town is a civil service jurisdiction is a question of historical record rather than of size or region.
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. 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changes only when the Legislature amends it, so a section untouched since its last amendment is settled rather than out of date.
Reviewed as of July 28, 2026. Official text: njleg.state.nj.us.
This title shall apply to any political subdivision to which the provisions of Title 11 of the Revised Statutes and the supplements thereto applied immediately prior to their repeal and to any political subdivision which hereafter adopts the provisions of this title.
