Any member of the New Jersey National Guard placed on an active open competitive employment list who is called to active federal military service prior to the expiration of the list shall, within two years from the date of the expiration of that list, submit to the Civil Service Commission sufficient proof of military service and an application to be placed on an active open competitive employment list identical to the list the person was on immediately prior to being called to active federal military service, for prospective appointment only, based upon the score obtained on the original list, after disabled veterans and veterans as per P.L.1986, c.112 (C.11A:5-6).

c. The Adjutant General of the Department of Military and Veterans' Affairs shall be responsible for determining whether any person seeking to be added to an active open competitive employment list as per subsection a. of this section, meets the criteria set forth therein and for adjudicating an appeal from any person disputing this determination. The determination of the Adjutant General shall apply only prospectively from the date of initial determination or date of determination from an appeal, as appropriate, and shall be binding upon the Civil Service Commission.
2. The Civil Service Commission shall make all necessary determinations to effectuate the purposes of this act.

STATEMENT
The purpose of this legislation is to allow a member of the New Jersey National Guard who is called to active federal military service and who was on an active open competitive employment list prior to deployment which expired prior to returning home, to be placed on an active open competitive employment list that is identical to the list the person was on prior to being called to active federal military service. The servicemember will have two years from the date of expiration of the original list they were placed on to submit proof of service and an application to be placed on a new list. Placement on the new list will be for prospective appointments, based upon the score on the original list, and the servicemember will be listed after disabled veterans and veterans.
