Committee advances bill to create voluntary resume bank for people with disabilities
Summary
S-2671 would create a governor‑maintained, voluntary resume bank for individuals with disabilities interested in appointments to boards, commissions or similar entities; the committee released the bill and members asked for clarity on privacy and public access to personal information.
The Senate Labor Committee released S‑2671, a bill that would establish a voluntary resume bank maintained by the governor for New Jersey residents with disabilities who want to be considered for appointment to state boards, commissions, authorities and similar entities.
Multiple advocacy organizations and business groups filed slips in favor, including the New Jersey Association for Independent Living and The Arc of New Jersey. Committee members raised concerns about privacy and whether the resume bank would be publicly accessible given the personal and disability‑related information it would contain; senators asked sponsors to ensure the bill included protections or redaction protocols to shield sensitive data from public access.
A motion to release the bill passed on a unanimous committee roll call.
