Authorizes Class Three special law enforcement officers to provide security in places of religious worship; makes certain clarifications concerning their use in nonpublic schools.

This bill expands the duties of Class Three special law enforcement officers in New Jersey to include providing security at places of religious worship, such as churches, mosques, synagogues, and temples. It requires school districts that hire these officers for security in public schools to also provide their services in nonpublic schools within the district, with the school district responsible for covering the costs. The officers must already be certified under existing rules and can exercise full police powers while on duty at these locations. This change clarifies and extends their current authorization, which previously limited their security roles to schools and colleges. The bill does not mandate hiring but specifies obligations when districts choose to use these officers for public school security.
