Grants immunity from civil liability to persons reporting information concerning crimes related to terrorism.
This bill grants civil immunity to New Jersey residents who report terrorism-related crimes to law enforcement in good faith. It protects individuals from lawsuits when reporting specific terrorism offenses, including acts like terrorism, chemical/biological weapon possession, or terroristic threats as defined in state law. The immunity applies unless the reporter acted with bad faith or malicious intent. The goal is to encourage public reporting of potential threats without fear of civil liability, following the September 11 attacks.
