A 1184 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Provides that law enforcement officers appointed by educational institutions, NJT, and Burlington County Bridge Commission are entitled to certain statutory rights and privileges.

This bill clarifies that law enforcement officers appointed by educational institutions, New Jersey Transit (NJT), and the Burlington County Bridge Commission are entitled to the same statutory rights and privileges as municipal law enforcement officers under Chapter 14 of Title 40A of New Jersey Statutes. It amends existing laws to explicitly grant these officers the same legal protections, authority, and benefits currently afforded to city or town police officers. The change applies to all such officers appointed under the relevant statutes governing these entities. This is a procedural clarification, not a new policy, ensuring consistent treatment of these specialized law enforcement roles.
