SYNOPSIS
Requires local authorities and independent State authorities to grant officers and employees only those holidays granted to State employees.
CURRENT VERSION OF TEXT
As introduced.
An Act concerning paid leave granted to officers and employees of local authorities and independent State authorities, supplementing Title 40A of the New Jersey Statutes and Title 52 of the Revised Statutes.
Be It Enacted by the Senate and General Assembly of the State of New Jersey:
1. A local authority shall not grant to its officers or employees any paid holidays in excess of those granted to State employees, as set forth in section 25 of P.L.2008, c.89 (C.11A:6-24.1). For the purposes of this section, "local authority" means an "authority" as defined under the "Local Authorities Fiscal Control Law," P.L.1983, c.313 (C.40A:5A-1 et seq.).
2. An independent State authority shall not grant to its officers or employees any paid holidays in excess of those granted to State employees, as set forth in section 25 of P.L.2008, c.89 (C.11A:6-24.1). For the purposes of this section:
"Independent State authority" means a public authority, board, commission, corporation, or other agency or instrumentality of the State allocated, in but not of, a principal department of State government pursuant to Article V, Section IV, paragraph 1 of the New Jersey Constitution, or which is not subject to supervision or control by the department in which it is allocated, and a regional authority, but shall not include a college or university.
"Regional authority" means and includes the Passaic Valley Sewerage Commissioners and the North Jersey District Water Supply Commission.
3. This act shall take effect immediately but shall remain inoperative until the calendar year following the expiration of the collective bargaining agreements or contracts covering a majority of the officers and employees of the local authority or independent State authority, as appropriate, in effect on the effective date of this act.
STATEMENT
This bill would limit officers and employees of local authorities and independent State authorities to the same number of paid holidays as full-time State employees when current collective bargaining agreements expire.
