Prohibits State Police from requiring pregnant and postpartum troopers to take physical fitness exam.
This bill prohibits the New Jersey State Police from requiring pregnant or postpartum troopers to take physical fitness exams during those periods. It specifically states that troopers cannot be asked to complete the exam, appear at testing sites, submit related documentation, or undergo height/weight checks while pregnant or during the postpartum period (defined as the time before clearance from both their personal physician and a State Police physician). The bill also ensures troopers will not face disciplinary action, promotion barriers, or penalties for not taking the exam during these times. It directly affects pregnant and postpartum State Police troopers by removing a specific requirement during these health-related periods.
