Requires New Jersey State Interscholastic Athletic Association to require criminal history records check for person to serve as official at athletic events sanctioned by association.

This bill requires the New Jersey State Interscholastic Athletic Association (NJSIAA) to conduct criminal history checks on all officials (like referees and umpires) for high school athletic events it sanctions. Officials must submit their fingerprints and consent, with the cost borne by the official, to verify they have no disqualifying criminal convictions listed in existing law (C.18A:6-7.1). The NJSIAA must disqualify officials with disqualifying convictions and monitor pending charges, forwarding any new criminal information to the association for further action. The law applies immediately to all current officials, who must comply within 60 days of the bill's effective date.
