Creates crime of political violence and establishes training requirement for law enforcement.*

The entire Political Violence Review Board section was eliminated. This board would have had 11 members appointed by the Governor based on legislative leadership recommendations, would have reviewed completed investigations for bias, collected data on race/ethnicity/gender/age/political affiliation of complainants and perpetrators, and published annual reports to the Governor and Legislature.

Senator McKnight added as co-sponsor of the bill.

The training section was renumbered from Section 3 to Section 2 following the removal of the review board section.

Corrected the terrorism statute cross-reference from C.2C:33-2 to C.2C:38-2, which is the correct citation for the New Jersey terrorism offense.

Fixed a cross-reference in the grading provision from 'subsection a.' to 'subsection b.' to correctly point to the list of underlying offenses.

The full Statement section (explaining sponsor intent and providing context about recent political violence incidents) was removed, which is standard when a bill advances from introduction to committee report.

Effective date provisions updated: previously Sections 1 and 2 took effect immediately and Section 3 took effect on the 90th day; now Section 1 takes effect immediately and Section 2 (training) takes effect on the 90th day following enactment.
