Section 12:18-2.11 - Employee consent

(a) If employees who are subject to the provisions of a collective bargaining agreement are required to contribute toward the cost of benefits under a private plan, such plan shall not become effective, unless prior to the effective date, a majority of the employees in the class or classes to be covered by the private plan have agreed to the private plan by written election, unless the collective bargaining agreement expressly waives the employees' right to a majority election as a condition for the private plan.

(b) In the case of employees not subject to a collective bargaining agreement, no employee consent or written election is required for the withdrawal from the State plan or the establishment of a private plan.

(c) Written elections held pursuant to this section may be conducted by electronic communications evidenced by the electronic signature of the employee, as the term electronic signature is defined at N.J.S.A. 12A:12-2, but shall not be conducted in a manner inconsistent with any applicable terms of a collective bargaining agreement.
