S 3345 New Jersey Senate · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Requires president of public institution of higher education to regularly report on-campus criminal and fire events to the institution's governing board.

S 3345 requires the president of each public New Jersey college or university to report all on-campus crime, fire, and emergency incidents to the institution's governing board at every regular board meeting. The report must include counts and types of criminal incidents (from campus security/police), campus alerts/threats, and fire incidents (from campus security/fire departments), plus optional details on investigations, disciplinary actions, and prevention programs. Non-public information (like ongoing investigations) must be shared in executive sessions, and the bill clarifies such reports won't become public records under New Jersey's open records law. This bill directly affects public higher education institutions' leadership and governing boards. It takes effect immediately.
