S 572 New Jersey Senate · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Grants immunity from civil liability to persons reporting information concerning crimes related to terrorism.

S 572 protects New Jersey residents who report terrorism-related crimes to law enforcement by granting them immunity from civil lawsuits. It applies when someone reports in good faith about specific terrorism crimes, including terrorism itself, possession of weapons of mass destruction, material support for terrorism, or terroristic threats. The immunity covers reports to law enforcement officials but does not apply if the report was made with bad faith or malicious intent. This bill directly affects the public by removing legal risks for sharing information about terrorism threats, aiming to encourage reporting without fear of civil liability.
