Bill > S3920

This bill requires the Superintendent of the New Jersey State Police to establish a recovery leave policy specifically for female troopers who can provide proof of pregnancy. The policy mandates at least eight weeks of continuous recovery leave after childbirth, which will be fully paid and will not count against or be deducted from the trooper's sick leave balance. Additionally, during this recovery leave period, troopers will be exempt from typical residency restrictions or integrity checks that might normally apply to medical or sick leave. The Superintendent must also make detailed information about this recovery leave policy available on the State Police intranet website, including applicable policies, required forms, frequently asked questions, and contact information for troopers seeking more details about the policy. The bill takes effect immediately upon enactment, signaling a quick implementation of these new leave provisions for pregnant State Police troopers.
