S 1452 New Jersey Senate · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Affords civil immunity to private colleges and their police officers in certain cases.

This bill provides legal protection by granting civil immunity to police officers employed by private nonprofit colleges and the colleges themselves. If these officers act in good faith while enforcing laws, they and their institutions cannot be sued for damages. The immunity does not exceed the protections already available to other duly appointed police officers. The law takes effect immediately upon passage.
