Bill overview
This bill updates New Jersey law to align with a New Jersey State Supreme Court ruling. The law previously restricted the minimum age for becoming a municipal police officer to between 21 and 35. However, the court determined that the age of majority, 18, supersedes this restriction. This bill removes the age limitations and allows individuals 18 years or older to be eligible for appointment as a municipal police officer.
