S 3672 New Jersey Senate · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Requires law enforcement agencies to adopt pregnancy policy for law enforcement officers.

New Jersey Senate Bill S3672 requires all state, county, and municipal law enforcement agencies to create pregnancy policies for female officers who have completed probation. The policy mandates that officers notify supervisors upon confirming a pregnancy and allows them to continue full-duty work until medical advice suggests otherwise, while agencies must avoid assigning them to hazardous tasks like patrol, firearms training, or exposure to toxins. Officers on maternity duty (temporary reassignment for medical reasons) can perform nonhazardous tasks like report writing or clerical work but cannot engage in activities involving physical risk, such as defensive tactics or inmate contact. The bill also allows pregnant officers to modify uniforms through their agency’s supplier while maintaining body armor requirements during field duties, except when on maternity duty.
