New Jersey Statutes, Title: 43, PENSIONS AND RETIREMENT AND UNEMPLOYMENT COMPENSATION

    Chapter 3c: Pensioners in public employment

      Section: 43:3c-17: Utilization of super conciliator.

          33. Whenever a committee of the Public Employees' Retirement System, the Teachers' Pension and Annuity Fund, or the State Police Retirement System fails to render a decision on a matter before the committee because it has not received a vote of the majority of the committee members after 60 days have passed following the initial consideration of the matter, the committee shall utilize a super conciliator, randomly selected from a list developed by the New Jersey Public Employment Relations Commission. The super conciliator shall assist the committee based upon procedures and subject to qualifications established by the commission pursuant to regulation.
The super conciliator shall promptly schedule investigatory proceedings. The purpose of the proceedings shall be to:
Investigate and acquire all relevant information regarding the committee's failure to render a decision;
Discuss with the members of the committee their differences, and utilize means and mechanisms, including but not limited to requiring 24-hour per day negotiations, until a voluntary settlement is reached, and provide recommendations to resolve the members' differences; and
Institute any other non-binding procedures deemed appropriate by the super conciliator.
If the actions taken by the super conciliator fail to resolve the dispute, the super conciliator shall issue a final report, which shall be provided to the committee promptly and made available to the public within 10 days thereafter.
The super conciliator, while functioning in a mediatory capacity, shall not be required to disclose any files, records, reports, documents, or other papers classified as confidential which are received or prepared by him or to testify with regard to mediation conducted by him under this section. Nothing contained herein shall exempt an individual from disclosing information relating to the commission of a crime.

L.2011, c.78, s.33; amended 2018, c.55, s.3.
