§ 34:1a-1.
The Legislature finds and declares that: a. More than 19 million people in the United States work in state and local governments,
and more than 570,000 people have public sector jobs in New Jersey, including 130,000
State government employees, employed in a wide variety of jobs and occupations, including
accountants, corrections officers, mail clerks, chaplains, social workers, doctors,
lawyers, teachers, and computer programmers; b. People with disabilities can benefit from the experience of employment in State
agencies, gaining skills and receiving benefits through both internships and employment
in the public sector and the State can benefit from the contributions that they can
make as State employees; c. Nine states have instituted within their human resources agencies policies and
programs that foster the inclusion of people with disabilities into state government
jobs, including provisional appointments, alternative examination and interview processes,
trial work periods, and special appointment lists; d. As a leading employer, and as an employer providing many well-paid, quality jobs
with ample paid time off and medical and pension benefits, the State of New Jersey
can set an important example to other employers, especially private sector employers,
by increasing its efforts to recruit and retain in employment individuals with intellectual
and developmental disabilities; and e. It is therefore appropriate to establish a Task Force to Promote the Employment
by State Agencies of People with Disabilities for the purposes of studying the problem
of unemployment and underemployment among individuals in New Jersey with disabilities,
reviewing existing programs in this and other states, and private sector companies,
to recruit and retain in employment individuals with intellectual and developmental
disabilities, and assisting in the identification and implementation of strategies
to expand efforts of New Jersey State agencies to recruit and retain in employment
individuals with disabilities, including by providing guidance and support to agencies
and institutions of higher education.
