Requires establishment of hotline for purpose of reporting certain acts of misconduct by public officials.

This bill requires New Jersey's Department of Law and Public Safety to create a 24-hour toll-free hotline within 60 days for reporting misconduct by public officials. It covers state and local government employees and allows citizens to report specific issues such as bribery, corruption, and misuse of public funds. The department must investigate all credible reports and can refer cases to law enforcement or ethics commissions for further action. Additionally, the agency must prominently display the hotline number on its website to ensure public awareness.
