Bill overview
This bill amends New Jersey law to require the revocation of parole for parolees who assault or threaten law enforcement officers. Specifically, it mandates that the Parole Board detain and initiate revocation proceedings when a parolee is arrested or charged with such offenses, or when a parolee threatens harm to a law enforcement officer or their family. The bill also extends this requirement to retired law enforcement officers. This aims to enhance public safety and protect officers from harm.
