Requires New Jersey State Interscholastic Athletic Association to require criminal history records check for person to serve as official at athletic events sanctioned by association.

This bill requires the New Jersey State Interscholastic Athletic Association (NJSIAA) to conduct background checks on all current and prospective officials (like referees) for high school sports events it sanctions. Officials must submit fingerprints and consent, with checks run through state and federal databases to identify convictions for specific disqualifying crimes listed in the law. Officials with such convictions are barred from officiating, and the NJSIAA must take action if pending charges later result in conviction. Existing officials have 60 days after the law takes effect to comply with this requirement.
