Requires issuance of tourniquets to law enforcement officers; requires emergency service vehicles be equipped with tourniquets.

This New Jersey bill (A 275) requires all state, county, and municipal law enforcement officers to be issued tourniquets, and mandates that basic life support ambulances and mobility assistance vehicles (specialized emergency transport) carry tourniquets during patient transport or while ready to respond. Funding for officer tourniquets may come from criminal forfeiture funds, while the Commissioner of Health will oversee vehicle equipment requirements. The law directly affects law enforcement personnel and emergency medical services operators by making tourniquets standard equipment. It takes effect three months after enactment.
