Bill overview
This bill allows New Jersey candidates and elected officials to use campaign funds to cover reasonable security expenses for themselves, their immediate family members residing in the same household, and their staff. These expenses can include security hardware, personnel, cybersecurity measures, and structural security devices like fencing or lighting, as long as they address genuine threats related to their position. The bill specifically prohibits spending on firearms, payments to family-owned businesses, and unrelated home improvements. The committee amendments have broadened the scope of allowable security measures and removed restrictions on their value.
