Makes public officers or employees convicted of certain crimes or found at fault in certain civil actions liable and subject to pension garnishment for public legal expenses and illegally obtained funds.

This bill requires public officers or employees in New Jersey who are convicted of crimes related to their job (such as theft or misuse of public funds) or found at fault in civil cases involving their duties to repay public costs. Specifically, they must reimburse the state or local government for prosecution expenses and any public-funded legal fees they received (excluding standard Public Defender services). Their pension or retirement benefits can then be garnished to cover these costs. The law targets misconduct involving public funds, ensuring accountability without specifying political outcomes.
