Establishes crime of strangulation chokehold.

S 3068 makes it a serious felony (first-degree crime) for law enforcement officers - including police, corrections staff, probation officers, and sheriffs - to intentionally block someone’s nose or mouth or apply a chokehold that causes serious injury or death. The bill specifically targets officers acting in their official capacity while wearing uniforms or displaying authority. It defines "chokehold" broadly to include any pressure on the throat or windpipe that hinders breathing, with penalties of up to 20 years in prison or a $200,000 fine. This law directly affects all New Jersey municipal, county, and state law enforcement personnel covered by the bill’s definition.
