Bill > A3269

This bill mandates that the New Jersey Transit Corporation, often referred to as NJ Transit, take specific actions to bolster security at its train stations. Initially, NJ Transit must conduct a comprehensive survey of existing security measures at all its rail stations and then produce a report detailing these measures and highlighting any weaknesses or areas needing improvement. This initial report, which will not be publicly released, must be submitted to the Governor and the Legislature within 12 months of the bill becoming law. Following this assessment, NJ Transit is required to launch a program aimed at enhancing and consistently maintaining security across its rail stations, which may include implementing more rigorous security screening processes where deemed necessary. Furthermore, NJ Transit must submit a follow-up report to the Governor and the Legislature every five years, detailing the security measures in place and any upgrades or changes made since the previous report, with these subsequent reports also kept confidential.
