Overview
This bill requires New Jersey law enforcement agencies to create and implement pregnancy policies for officers who are pregnant. These policies must align with the provisions of the bill and ensure that pregnant officers can continue working in their regular roles unless medically contraindicated. The policy aims to balance the needs of law enforcement with the health and well-being of pregnant officers, limiting assignments that pose a risk and providing accommodations like temporary reassignment to maternity duty. It also addresses uniform modifications and firearm handling during pregnancy.
