New Jersey state workers who live over the state border could soon find themselves being forced to move. A proposal bill would require current state, county, and municipal workers to establish residency in the state within 30 months of the passage of the bill. New employees would be required to move in state within four months of being hired. The measure additionally impacts employees of the educational system and would include state colleges. The proposal was drafted by State Senator Donald Norcross and Gov. Chris Christie has expressed his support.
