SENATE STATE MANAGEMENT, INVESTMENT AND FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONS COMMITTEE

STATEMENT TO

SENATE, No. 1971

STATE OF NEW JERSEY

DATED: MAY 15, 1997

      The Senate State Management, Investment and Financial Institutions Committee reports favorably Senate Bill No. 1971.

      The Department of Personnel no longer publishes a monthly bulletin of upcoming examinations for civil service positions but, instead, now makes this information available in an electronic format. In order to more widely disseminate information about State job opportunities, this bill provides that in addition to any other means of announcement, the Commissioner of Personnel shall establish a toll-free telephone number which can be used by persons to obtain information regarding the holding of civil service examinations for positions in State service.
