(TRENTON) - The Assembly today passed a measure Assemblymen Jack Conners and Herb Conaway, M.D., sponsored that would extend civil service credit to any disabled veteran who served in the United States Armed Forces, regardless of whether the nation was at peace or at war.

"Disabled veterans should be given every appropriate advantage in the civil service system," said Conners (D-Camden), chair of the military and veterans affairs panel.
