A 3153 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Establishes certain benefits for Class Two special law enforcement officers; allows arson investigators to carry a firearm at all times.

This bill would allow Class Two special law enforcement officers to carry firearms at all times while in New Jersey, rather than only while on duty. It also permits arson investigators to carry firearms at all times while in the state. The bill establishes new requirements for all special law enforcement officers, including age limits (21-75 years old) and mandatory drug testing at appointment. It clarifies that Class Two special law enforcement officers have the same legal protections and immunity from civil liability as regular law enforcement officers.
