Grants law enforcement officer benefits to certain campus police officers enrolled in PERS.

This bill expands eligibility for enhanced retirement benefits in New Jersey's Public Employees' Retirement System (PERS) to include certain campus police officers. Currently, campus police officers appointed under state law who cannot join the Police and Firemen's Retirement System (PFRS) due to age or medical requirements are enrolled in PERS but cannot access the law enforcement officer (LEO) benefits available to other PERS members. The bill amends the definition of "law enforcement officer" to specifically include these campus police officers, granting them access to the same retirement benefits as state and county law enforcement personnel. This change ensures eligible campus police officers receive the retirement benefits they are currently excluded from under the existing system.
