SENATE MILITARY AND VETERANS' AFFAIRS COMMITTEE

STATEMENT TO

SENATE, No. 3594

STATE OF NEW JERSEY

DATED:  MAY 16, 2019

      The Senate Military and Veterans Affairs Committee reports favorably Senate Bill No. 3594.

      Under current law, a person on a military leave of absence from employment has certain protections that entitle the person to return to the former office, position, or employment held at the time of entrance into such service. 

      This bill provides members of the National Guard of New Jersey or any other state who are employed in New Jersey with the same employment protections as are provided to members of the United States Armed Forces called to federal active duty.
