Makes public officers or employees convicted of certain crimes or found at fault in certain civil actions liable and subject to pension garnishment for public legal expenses and illegally obtained funds.

This bill requires public employees or officers convicted of crimes related to their job, or found at fault in civil cases involving their employment, to repay public costs for their legal defense. It specifically targets expenses paid by the state or local government, excluding standard public defender services unless recoverable under separate law. The law allows pension payments to be reduced to collect these debts, covering both prosecution costs and illegally obtained funds. It applies to current and former state or local government workers in New Jersey.
