Bill overview
This bill requires New Jersey law enforcement officers to take specific steps when a parent or guardian requests removal of a child from a home where illegal drugs are suspected of being used. If such a request is received, officers must secure the drugs, notify the State Central Registry, and coordinate with child protective services to investigate potential child abuse or neglect. The Department of Children and Families will create regulations to support these procedures.
