Bill > S1773

This bill requires law enforcement officers to have an updated digital photograph, which is defined as a verifiable and electronically authenticated color image of their face, every ten years instead of the previous eight-year requirement. The definition of "law enforcement officer" is updated to refer to the existing definition in section 2 of P.L.1961, c.56 (C.52:17B-67), which generally covers individuals employed by state, county, or municipal law enforcement agencies who are empowered to enforce criminal laws and have completed approved training. This updated photograph must be kept in the officer's personnel file and on their identification card if their agency uses photographic identification. The Attorney General, in collaboration with the Superintendent of State Police, will create guidelines to implement these changes, and the act will become effective immediately upon passage.
