Provides full forfeiture of pension of elected or appointed official convicted of any crime touching office.

This bill requires the forfeiture of all pension benefits for elected or appointed New Jersey officials convicted of any crime related to their public office, regardless of whether their pension system covered that specific position. It expands current law, which previously only applied when the pension system covered the office involved in the crime. Boards managing pension funds must now order full forfeiture upon conviction for office-related misconduct, though they may consider factors like the severity of the crime, the official's service history, and other mitigating circumstances before deciding on partial forfeiture. The law applies to all public officials serving in elected or appointive roles, ensuring pension benefits are contingent on honorable service.
