Permits members of Community Emergency Response Teams to perform traffic duties under certain circumstances.

S 850 allows qualified members of New Jersey's Community Emergency Response Teams (CERT) to direct traffic during emergencies or disasters. To qualify, CERT members must pass a physical exam, complete approved training, and take an oath. Once certified, they can direct traffic at roadways until police arrive or at public events with law enforcement approval, wearing required safety gear. The bill protects these volunteers from liability when acting in good faith within their training. This directly affects CERT volunteers who meet the requirements and enhances emergency response capacity during crises.
