NJ Senate panel approves bill changing requirements for workers to collect disability pensions
A Senate committee on Monday cleared a bill that would change the requirements for employees seeking to collect a disability pension, despite opposition from union officials.
The Senate State Government, Wagering, Tourism and Historic Preservation Committee approved the bill, designed to combat abuse of the state’s retirement systems and sponsored by Senate President Stephen Sweeney, D-Gloucester, in a 4-0-1 vote. Sen. Shirley Turner, D-Mercer, abstained, saying she wanted to bring all the interested parties together to work through the concerns raised during the hearing. (Hayes, The Record)
