Summary
The bill directs New Jersey boards of education to give hiring preference to veterans applying for teaching positions, provided they are equally qualified with other candidates. It applies statewide, but in districts that follow Title 11A civil‑service rules, those rules override the preference. The preference takes effect immediately.
